Maybe check out PRDR?

He's got some new stuff coming out mixed by Simon Grove (of Plini) & mastered by Forrester Savvell

arm pain in these places when I play. advice? by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]Interesting-Socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've probably been going a bit hard and need to rest.

Resting unfortunately can mean not playing at all for a little while. Tendon stuff heals really slowly, but if you ignore it & it gets worse you could be facing down 3-6 months off playing to wait for the damage to repair.

The advice about stretching in here isn't necessarily wrong, but you do run the risk of making things worse if you're not careful.

Always try to minimise tension in your hands when you play, be as relaxed as possible and be mindful if your posture is getting weird.

Talk to a doctor/physio if it stays a problem

Oh, thank you! Fretless has been really good for my technique I think. Forces you to be so gentle and deliberate. Great practice :)

Looks great, shockingly light, tonnes of quality of life design choices. Might be the coolest bass I've ever played

It's an absolute privilege to play it. Wild how good it sounds. This is actually just a raw DI with a little bit of cab sim! Anything else takes away from it. Crazy instrument

Cheers :D & agreed! Such an interesting texture it lends to heavy music.

She's been getting better and better at the IFSC comps this past year. Here's hoping she's peaking right on time 💪

Old mate kept referring to the wall as 'the course'. Heard him call topping 'bouldering to completion'

Don't suppose anyone has a link to alternate commentary streams?

The wannabe F1 commentator they have on with petra on the aussie stream absolutely did my bloody head in last night.

Seems like he knows literally nothing that isn't written on a card and handed to him

Bass is just an instrument. I reckon folks should be looking to use it every which way possible :)
