[quote name='urb' post='93989' date='Nov 24 2007, 11:06 PM']I saw the title of this thread and thought it was about actually suffering pain, discomfort or agony for the sake of playing bass...I have just got back from a long day of recording - now even tho it was only three hours actual playing, I'm increasingly finding my old Thumb bass very heavy - not just to stand and play but to carry in its gig - my back is really sore (yes I know that's bad) and getting around London on the tube is a f-ing nightmare[/quote]
Empathise with you there, did a 6 hour practice recently, was hard on my back and shoulders at the end. I think we're going for 4 hours next time, it was a bit too much even for the guitarists.
