Bass injury's

FatalBASS · 11-17-2004, 01:15 AM

i saw this topic some were else and it was funny as hell so any one got any Bass injurys. I was bleeding the fist time i learned to slap but other than that iv had none.

Ummm... I get blisters sometimes if I play slap for waaay too long. But I've got pretty good calluses, so it doesn't happen much.

I've also accidentally whacked one of my friends in the head with the head of my bass when I was turning around once.

I hit the edge of my thumb (the bone part) on the edge of my P-Pickup.

I've yet to truly injure myself through playing except when my wrist becomes real sore. Hasn't happened in a while though. I might get a bass related injury though when I tell Valdris that I keep reading his user title

I tripped over my amp and whacked my head on my bass resulting it in falling over and hitting me.

i have had friends i have injured. nive p bass tuning pegs, span around quick, friend behind me, pegs meet face, friend meets floor, quite funny really, best i have had isnt an injury, when i first got my bass i played it for hours and hours and only have about 4 days did i notice my fingers cracking (well the skin) and because i have a reaction to nickel about 5 layers of skin pealed of the end of most of my fingers so far that it bled in places because there was no skin left, so i stopped for about 4 weeks for a decent heal got some stainless steel strings and havent had a problem since

one time my bass bitch-slapped me for a change.

The only thing I injure is my pride, when i screw up on stage.

first day i played i played for 6 hours straigth trying out all kind of exercices and the next day i couldnt move my wrist

Toda i have something weird in the muscle below my thumb... I cant put pressure on my strings or it hurts there... very weird

EDIT: i just managed to crack my thumb and all is fine again... lol i think it maybe was a nerve in a wrong place

practicing time again

bassist-bmxer · 11-17-2004, 01:20 PM

i have loads of bruises on my arm and my back from trying to fling my bass round my body, but i can do it now

reidster90 · 11-17-2004, 02:14 PM

I injure myself all the time and I have countless bruises and cuts. I better start chilling out or my arms going to fall off. Maybe I should start using fingers more since I've broken all my picks. I've already dug like a 1 inch hole in my pickguard

How about hearing loss...

Do any of you get sore arms when playing sitting down, and all cramped up? Whenever I practice with my band I have to stand!

Raiven · 11-17-2004, 03:20 PM

My tendons have been a bit iffy recently. But hey it's all under control.
