    Having had issues with rsi and problems with shoulder/arm have decided to sell my double bass as in all probability it isnt going to do me any good to try to play it, it causes too much discomfort. In 2014 i had it setup with a new Fishman Full Circle pickup and new bridge , fingerboard adjustment and new carbon fibre tail piece and wire, also new Spiro weich strings were fitted at the same time, its hardly been played since as i developed issues which are still giving me trouble so the Spiros i would describe as just broken in. The work was carried out by Peter Hall at Beverley and he had given it a thorough inspection and said it was all good, he said that a previous repair on the front was good but not as cosmetically pleasing as he would have done! Comes with usual type of padded soft cover, i dont have a camera so will provide link to Youtube video that i made in 2014 of it being played.

    Theres a limit because after 35 years of wear and tear playing guitar/ bass and saxophone with weight round my neck and shoulder and recent history of frozen shoulder , i cant carry on working in the same way, i play in a corporate band were the emphasis is on providng entertaiment, where it is expected that you perform stood up 99% of the time, hence why i need a support to play stood up, or like you say , i give up doin that line of work. at 54 year old with the issues i have with this problem and an older history of sciattica im not good employable material ! I dont mind playing sat down but that wouldnt be acceptabe for the kind of paid gigs i do.

    Mbracestand.com Thats the support in the video, i messaged the guy on facebook, said he got it from ebay, though they only look to be for sale in USA

    strap length exactly same sittin or standin, but no longer an issue as i cant bear to stand with weight on shoulder , i am in process of doing physio of which some is exercises for when i had frozen shoulder that i got given from hospital and others from book on rsi that i listed earlier, 2 weeks of exercises have been undone by just 1 hour of playing stood up, im no longer prepared to play stood up with any weight on my body hence my initial post, im felling sore on my left side( shoulder and upper back) from exercises and i get tingling in my left wrist and elbow
  13. Jezyorkshire
    Thanks guys for all the advise, i play a Fender Jazz through a markbass cmd112, any weight on shoulders is out of the question it is that bad, i have got a book with stretching exercises : http://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Carpal-Syndrome-Repetitive-Injuries/dp/1572240393 There is a lot of locked up tension in my upper back,neck and shoulders more so on the left where the weight has been carried, on top of that i have a previous frozen shoulder on the left from about 3 years ago. I cant chance aggravating it anymore, i had done 2 weeks of stretching proir to last gig and was feeling benefit which was completely undone by a one hour set and actually made it worse, thanks, Jez

    Would definitely get sack if i played a corporate gig on one of them lol
  15. Jezyorkshire
    Aye , was thinking of that, but as some of my work is doin corporate gigs dont think that will go down to well !
  16. Jezyorkshire
    Am having issues with weight around shoulder which is causing problems, will be 54 next month and 30 years of wearing a bass is taking its toll ! Has anyone played stood up with bass on a stand of some sort? thanks, Jez

    I think you might be better with that "Golden Strad" for sale in Brighton for the money, i had one and it was really nice, and would give you change if you wanted to do anything to it?

    I personally would rather play a double bass but wouldnt want to play something that didnt sound decent and it can be very frustrating amplifying it, but theres something very satisfying in playing the double bass even if its only simple, ive recently been playing some country/bluegrass which is mainly root n fifths but when you get the groove happening its just great, and i think a big part of that is pulling the sound from an acoustic instrument and the look!
  19. Jezyorkshire
    HI Mate, your playing on that soundclip sounds fine, good intonation, what would you be most happy playing? I watched a band a few weeks ago and the guy playing the Double had a cheapish bass i think and looked to be using a bassmax pickup and a low action, it sounded worse than your Rob Allen, if you get a double make sure it has a decent acoustic sound to start with.

    Im sure i saw this bass at Peters workshop on monday? would recognize that fingerboard anywhere lol
  21. Jezyorkshire
    you need a pre amp with a notch filter and high pass filter and a phase switch ideally
  22. Jezyorkshire
    Spiro weichs are as far as i know quite a bit more, tension wise than Animas
  23. Jezyorkshire
    Jake, thats becoming apparent ! the whole of my left shoulder/upper arm area feels like its stuck together, i can feel its affecting my neck as well on the left more than on the right
  24. Jezyorkshire
    i should have said 2nd or 4th finger lol
  25. Jezyorkshire
    had a bluegrass rehearsal tonight , half hour playing and left upper back/shoulder/upper arm muscles are protesting and cant keep 2nd or 3rd finger stopping a c or g note, its interesting how these muscles when fatigued affect fingering! got home and done my physio exercises.
