Women on Bass

I broke it in my late 30s so technically it’s as healed as possible. I can still do things I just have to mix up my body positions and not stay too long in one position. The Danelectro long horn is nice and light and I practice 3x a week with it and 2x a week without it. It’s working out. I just can’t take it as fast as my brain wants to lol

My back is basically as healed as it’s going to get soo yess I can play - I just need to mix it; standing and sitting and play for an hour to hour and a half at a time!

Huge relief, I thought you meant your back was currently broken and you were still jamming out, because that’s just how hard you rock :rofl:

Would one of those stands like what @Al1885 has help? It would at least get the weight of the bass off of you and let you play sitting or standing.

You mean this?

Ouch @JillyKat you can definitely use this. There are 2 brands. This one is German. The other is from here I guess. There are pros and cons on both. If you wanna get into this let me know. They are not cheat but pretty good tool.

I’m digging this group!
I’ve always liked girl bands. Was a big Go Go’s and Bangles fan back in the day.

I love that she made Rollins and Ginn schedule Black Flag gigs around her college class schedule.
