Anyone ever have their figners go cold & numb while playing? At practice today my finger tips (just the last joint of the middle, index & ring finger) on each hand started going numb. After a bit my guitar player noted that my finger tips were turning blue/ purple and started sort of getting a bit concerned about it.
When I put the bass down, the feeling slowly started to return. By the time I got home from practice, all had returned to normal. I did some reading on the net and did some searches here & other placed, but this doesent seem like the carpal tunnle stuff that most seem to experience. Its both hands, and just the tips of the fingers.
Not sure if it matters but the reahearsal space was cool today. We are a church band & it takes so long to bring the temp. up in the big sacntuary that for rehearsals we just leave it set where it is. Generally not a problem, just wear a sweater. Read about Reynaud's syndrome.
Also, the bass I'm using is realitvly new to me. A Stingray 5, bought it about a month ago, but it has been my main bass since purchase, and have been playing it 2-3 times a week without problem.
