what the hell, i cant finger pick anymore :\

[Valleyboy]

it was totally cold yesterday, my hands were freezing, but i played the bass anyways.
I was working on some strokes songs, and they're kind of fast, and i wasnt using a pick. and after 2 hours i stopped and went to my friends house, and when i tried to play the bass there, my fingers were hurting so freaking much, i jusr couldnt play the bass for more than 10 minutes.

And when i woke up today they were still hurting. :/
STUPID fingers.

:confused: that sucks !

hope you feel better soon

[mycdplayerisbroke]

gah
i hate fingers too

[Skinned Alive]

yeah, it happens now and then. every so often i get serious stinging pain in my fretting fingers. it goes away after a day or so.

I get pains every so often in my right hand as well, probably RSI :(

If you try playing again at about 9:23pm, your fingers will feel fine.

Bass doesn't sound good played with a pick anyway. :P

Anyway, I used to play bass/guitar literally until my fingers started bleeding, but I don't really play either of those enough for that to happen anymore, because I've been focusing on m' piano.

playing with a pick sounds fine
i like it

it depends entirely on the music, the bassist and EQ settings. plectrums are better for when you want a more powerful sound, as they give more attack.

[Professor Peedston]

All right, I'll restate that: I personally almost always prefer the sound of a bass played with fingers.

i hate that :angry: but now its really really hot over here....so i dont have to worry about it for a while :D

sometimes it helps to wash your hands with warm water before you play....well it helps me at least....couldn't hurt to try :D
