I attended on the saturday last year and agree entering the show was slow. One thing i found frustrating was the lack of smaller retailers selling general bits of bass gear. It was great for amps and basses (Not that you could tell what they sounded like when played simutainously by 20 budding slap players) but i would like to see more general gear.We cant all afford to go and buy a new bass but bits of gear, oh yes ! Bass inspiration for me was TM Stevens what a nice guy with so much bass passion. I enjoyed the whole thing generally as it was just bass and we should use it or lose it ! See you on the Saturday

Hi Gents below are the differences, treatment wise rest is best with anti inflamatory tablets i am told. I think one of the things we dont do is warm up well enough. Not just being warm put making sure our inner smaller muscles are warm enough to work as fast as we need them to to play the bass especially finger style plucking. Stretching exercises are the best way to warm up the muscles & tendons, if i get time later i will post some examples. I would go and see the Dr though to get a true diagnosis. Just one more thing some symptoms in the hands / arms are caused by problems/restrictions with the shoulder or neck nerves.

I noticed Elbows bass player had foam under his stings on the BBC gig the other week. Jynxter
