Ring covers. Silly? Nope

[USAJO]

I don’t like taking my wedding ring off but the clanking against the neck always annoyed me. I thought these might be silly but what the heck? $5.00 on Amazon. I should have bought these decades ago.

Good idea! However, no rings for me when playing, always feels off to me

During that pesky pandemic, I put on enough pounds that my gold wedding ring got a bit snug. With my other half’s blessing, I switched it for a silicone ring - more comfy, no clanking, and safer (if it catches on something, the ring will give before my finger does).

I haven’t taken the cover off since I bought it. Don’t even notice it except when playing bass and not hearing the clanking.

For me it’s about something being between my fingers when I play. Can’t do it!

It's the main reason why I wear my wedding ring on my plucking (right) hand. Lately I do have to take it off, since I started going to the gym. If you think playing bass with a ring on is annoying, try lifting weights!

When I first got married it felt really weird to wear a ring. I was playing a lot of guitar at the time and found that it interfered with that more than it did with bass. I just did my best to ignore it.

Now, 18 years later, I don’t even realize it’s there.

I once ruined the neck on a Bass with my wedding ring. I was shredding the neck. It was a cheap E. German made one.

I've got an Oura ring like in the OPs Pic. It's already so thick, I can't imagine putting a cover on it. I wear it on my plucking hand.

My wedding band has been on almost 40 years, and has assimilated into my left ring finger. No problem playing with it on - but yesterday I decided to take it off. Oh man, that was tight. So now I'm looking at a silicone replacement.

When I'm wearing my wedding ring while playing, I am down to root notes only...

My wife got me the a silicone ring and I love it. It help playing the bass, using tools, outdoors, etc. Don't even know it's there.
