Cat Burrito Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Welcome It's a big step in stamina playing a bass. You might benefit from getting a powerball (Usually about a tenner from Argos or EBay). Good fun and they help build up the strength in your wrist and fingers. I used one when I started playing upright bass. I went from struggling with two songs to playing for two hours. Practice is good too of course but this will just rock up your strength a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
