STAMINA ISSUES

[KingRazor]

We tried different ways to handle/grip the bass until the guitarist suggested i try placing my thumb not in the middle of the neck as i used to do, but instead on the top part of the neck (i guess kinda like a Hendrix grip). He argued he had friends with very big hands like mine and that's how many of them played to avoid cramping etc etc.

I've found that for people with larger hands, me included, this can be helpful.

You may be squeezing the neck too much
