Finger tape

[JPJ]

Quick question, I’m a mild eczema suffer which unfortunately affects my hands. When I have an outbreak, it can make my plucking fingers painful if the keens are in the wrong places (which they annoyingly usually are). For gigs, when necessary I have been using both the white microporous tape and regular flesh coloured Elastoplast, but it seldom lasts a full set. I’ve seen a few double bassists using finger tape, so I know I am not alone, but what tape are you/they using?

 

Oh, and before anyone say’s “use a bow”, let me assure you the world is not ready for my bowing technique (or lack of)😂

I've been using this stuff (when blistered) for years ... really excellent, and mine came with a pair of folding scissors.

Do let us know if it works.

 

Did my last gig with my right index finger super glued together 😂
