MatthewKeys Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hey there I was just wondering, are there any gloves available for bassplayers? Because I am fed up of standard strings such as rotosound sounding dead after 3 hours play, and Elixirs only sound good for about a week, due to my corrosive sweaty palms. It's expensive as hell and I really cannot afford it, so if there any type of gloves I could buy that I would be able to play bass with? Thanks!!

They don't hinder my playing at all, and actually promote very smooth playing and more even tone. I don't mind looking like Audrey hepburn though, some people do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
