Several years ago I worked with a keyboard player who woke up one morning with RSI. The night before he had played an energetic gig playing 16th notes during a RnR set. He has never played pro keyboards since and now plays tuba in a funk band. He also admitted having never warmed up as he 9/10 his keys were set up on stage. I was taught that to play a gig without a warm up was asking for trouble sometime in the future. All athletes have a warm up routine before an event and musicians should do the same. Like the keyboard player 9/10 my bass is normally set up on stage so I simply perform some simple hand stretching exercises, bending the wrists back and fore as far as I can with my other hand and clenching my hands into a fist and slowly relaxing them. Another tip is to squeeze a squash ball tightly in in each hand. Yes, I can already imagine the kind of comments I will receive after this post. But for those of you who ignore a warm up routine don't be surprised to hear yourself in a few years say "if only I had done some warm up".

Just to clarify as Basschat upload renames the files for some reason. The 3 files are:- Phil Collins - I wish it would rain down Don Henley - New York Minute Gary Numan - Music for Chameleons

Was gonna post some Pino transcriptions but since site updated nothing is working right. If you email me I can send them.

I have used FretFX on 2 of my basses [url="https://fretfx.com/"]https://fretfx.com/[/url] and got on fine with them. Wouldn't hesitate to use again only I am looking to light up my Status headless bass and the on/off switch is stuck on the back of the head.

[quote name='Jabba_the_gut' timestamp='1337118507' post='1655927'] Hi, I'm thinking of fitting LED fret markers to the side of the next scratch built bass I make. Has anyone done this on their own builds? I'd be grateful for any info on the best way to approach this, or any circuit diagram? I have seen a couple of different ways including one using op-amps of some sort. Could I power the LEDs from the pre-amp battery or should I keep the circuits separate due to noise and battery drain? Any guidance would be welcome. Cheers J. [/quote] I would be interested in this also. Can you post any info/links here?
