For you married men......

[bholder]

A guitar playing friend of mine doesn't wear a ring at all, he instead had it tatooed onto his ring finger. Not for me, but I see the logic in it.

Great idea until the divorce.

My wife and I haven't worn our rings in years, neither one of us likes jewelry on our hands. And I have yet to have the problem of a rig or lack thereof attracting any women at gigs (I just tell myself it's because I play bass, yeah, that must be it!), so I guess I'll cross that bridge if it ever happened.

I have no problem, don't even think about it actually.

Same here. Had been married a long time before picking up the bass and never thought about removing it. I don't think it interferes at all.

Tell her that she should buy you a "stage ring" so that you can look married up there, but also play properly.

I have a relatively thin wedding band. Doesn't impact my playing.

 

[And I]

I always wear mine (left hand ring finger). It's never gotten in my way... but if it bothers you, don't wear it.

I know you can't just say this to her because it won't help, but your wife is being ridiculous to think you take your ring off to try to pick up women. If she doesn't trust you that is the more serious issue...

I had a big ole honking ring that used to clank on the frets and was a PITA. My wife got me a small thin white gold band last Valentines Day and my problems were solved.

I have the same issue and always remove my wedding band when playing bass or guitar. My wife has, fortunately, never complained about it.
