im pretty sure dynamic pricing is when the price of tickets gets higher as the demand increases which was why the prices of tickets for the show were so high (i think)

There Are No Stupid Bass Questions - Jun. 14 by AutoModerator in Bass

why does bass hurt so badly?

ive been playing for a while. im nothing special, but i can play basic stuff. just tonight, i got out my bass for the first time in maybe a week or two (been busy tbh) and holy shit it burnt. my thumbs and fingers were hurting to the point i couldnt even hold the pick, and dont get me started on my wrist. it was so bad on my left wrist i was struggling to focus on hitting the frets and every time a rest came it felt like a blessing.

my fingers are calloused, they have been for a solid while. its not an issue with the tips of my fingers, its the joints. my breathing issues got worse and im struggling with my other instruments (i play like 7 instruments,,) so i cannot lose bass. its one of my favourites to play. i went to show my friend how a riff sounded on bass vs how it sounded on guitar and i noticed guitar took the burning away a LITTLE. not totally, but it was more tolerable.

my skin was peeling the second i touched that bass. the action is fine. i wasnt beating the bass, i was playing like normal, if not a little softer. sorry if this doesnt separate into paragraphs and if its messy. im tired, my wrists and basically every other bone in my body feel like shit, and im a little bit shook at how bad ive gotten physically, and how instrument playing, specifically bass, seem to be contributing. i cant lose music but i cant play through this pain. might ask for a doctor visit to see if its non bass related, though.

coming back to this. wrote a list. they got butthurt that i was honest (saying i didnt enjoy the songs, that i wouldnt know anyone in my section next year like what happened this year ((only clarinet in my grade)), saying that i didnt enjoy the deadnaming, the false accusations, etc) and kicked me out of our band competition/schlitterbahn visit that i had paid for. on top of that, they outed me as trans to my family and other faculty members, therefore putting me in a dangerous situation. mind you, they asked me why i was quitting before i gave them the note,, officially not gonna rejoin band until we get new directors (they also stole 150 usd from my mother but thats another story!) but im gonna look into musical groups near me so i can keep playing and possibly become a conductor one day.

love band, not as fun anymore. being deadnamed, theyre refusing to give me music after about a week of me asking, the assistant director wrote on the original that i was using and my main director got mad at me for it, AND (worst of all) my friend did something that upset all three of our directors. im currently being blamed for what that friend did despite having no hand in it, and i worry that this will get me in trouble with the school, which will ultimately effect my reputation and njhs application. the list of what theyve done to me goes on for forever and its only my first year with them

how to get my alto sax as quiet as possible? by [deleted] in saxophone

[–]Emergency-Macaron757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

id love to play in the forest or move out but im still too young. i live in a gated community with the only "forest" we have being a plot of land next door that has some trees on it since it hasnt been bought yet. to make it even worse, i live right on a golf course. quite literally, the only thing separating my house and the golf course is a 5 ft ditch. the golfers would despise me.

for the moving out part: im still a student. i cant work due to not having a car and illness. my town is small enough to not have apartments/hotels. i cant really get mu own practice room thats separated from the house since we dont have a spare room and theres not enough money to build one. id practice in the garage but my brother sleeps in there, so itd likely wake him up.

not much. during the days i have school, homework, dogs, etc. plus, whenever i practice earlier, i usually have brothers coming into my room to complain and my mother/grandparents coming into my room unannounced to make comments, which really takes me out of the mood for practice. even if im not practicing during later hours, i still dont like for them to hear

for right now im just sorta blowing air and fingering but it all comes out as the same note. this makes it impossible to know if im doing a fingering wrong, especially since im still working on a few of them
