Hi from NC

[Jeff Owens]

I am 51 years old and LOVE the Bass Guitar. I started playing when I was 8 years old. Joined my first band at 14 and played everything from Bluegrass to Rock. My favorite being Jazz and Funk. Even while in the Rock bands I would bring a little funk into the mix. Sadly in 2003, I had to put the Bass down after 27 years of enjoyment. My left had would develop a knot on the back the size of a lemon. Fast forward to 5 days ago....

I was searching the internet watching Bass Players, as I usually do, and saw several wearing tight fitting gloves on their left hand. I know it is for muting and sound, however, I thought just maybe, If I could find and use a compression glove, I could go back to playing..... I ordered a Bass online...(A Very inexpensive one), To try. I have to I miss it that much.... We will see!!! Wish me Luck..

Has any one else experienced this?

Thanks for the group and look forward to new friends.

Welcome from Maryland. Someone will have an answer for you here.

Never developed what you described, however, short 45 minute sessions with a 15 minute rest proved to help my CT. Try the glove with shorter sessions.

Good luck.

Thanks. I will do that!

Hi from N.H.
I have a compression glove for my left
wrist. Nerve damage . It leaves the fingers
and thumb free and supports the hand and wrist.
It's an aide but no cure.
As always check with a physician.

Thank you!

Good luck with your hand. I’m jamming out here in Person County.

Cool. I grew up in the Roxboro / Hurdle Mills area.
