    Left rotator cuff injury. :-(

    Hi ! Randyman from the Fleetwood Mac Tribute, Tusk. Just destroyed my left rotator cuff with a posterior shoulder dislocation. Surgery may be inevitable, but right now it doesn’t work. The only problem is getting down the neck (towards the head) quickly. I’ve lowered my strap for closer...

    Shoulder pain and dead arm

    I’ve had a slightly crunchy shoulder for a while. No pain or real restriction of movement, just a few clicks. Since maybe just before Christmas it’s got worse. I’ve left it because I thought it was a tendinitis thing that would get better on its own eventually. Today I’ve had to take...

    Salvation for bass shoulder syndrome

    Hey TB brethren. I don't post alot on this site, although I spend a ton of time on here researching, reading, laughing and eating carrots. I've been really bothered by the pain in my shoulder during gigs. I switch back and forth from right to left shoulder (which is awkward at best), beg the...

    seeking Single shoulder strap gig bag

    TL;DR: looking for a single shoulder strap style bass gig bag. In the early 90’s I bought a cheap Ibanez gig bag with a single shoulder strap, and loved it. Fast forward to a couple years ago, it gave up the ghost after developing a large rip/hole in the accessory pocket. Well, without...

    Shoulder Pad for Bass Strap

    Hi TBers, As bass players we've all dealt with wearing heavy instruments. I've been searching for a shoulder pad that I could wrap around my bass strap for extra comfort. An old shoulder injury is causing trouble. The shoulder pad must wrap around the beginning of the strap, close to the...

    New Music Video - Beer Party. Weirdos. Rock and Roll.

    My band just release a new music video, "Square Wave" from our upcoming EP release of the same name. It was a blast to shoot! We hollowed out a refrigerator, gathered some costumes and props, got a keg, and told everyone to get weird. I hope you enjoy the outcome. Leave some feedback if you...

    shoulder trouble and long scale bass

    I am currently playing bass in a Bluegrass band. I normally play mandolin in the same band, but am filling in on bass while our regular bass player is on an extended trip. I am also having rotator cuff issues with my left shoulder. This makes playing a long scale fretless a bit painful at...

    Gig Bags - Shoulder Strap/Backpack Configuration Options

    I am in process of finding the right gig bag for a new bass. One consideration is that I am 6'5" and some of the backpack-style configurations mean the headstock is WAY up in the air in prime doorway-smacking territory. Which gig bags offer the flexibility of switching up the shoulder straps...

    Double Bass False 'Shoulder' for BSX EUB

    Now that I've got the proper strings on my BSX Allegro (3/4 size Helicore Hybrid Light) I can play effectively in thumb position. Being fairly new to T-P I wanted all the help I could get, and quickly discovered that without the physical reference of the 'Shoulder' that my DB gives me it was...

    Impatient drivers passing on shoulder

    I've noticed more and more drivers passing on the shoulder instead of waiting behind another vehicle that is stopped to make a left turn against oncoming traffic. I used to see this on country roads where there is no traffic and some states even allow it where there is a special passing lane...

    Pain(ache) in left shoulder while playing (bass with strap)

    Just started noticing this. Probably since I have only the last few weeks been trying to play about every night. Playing a Yamaha, so the weight isn't huge. The pain is exactly where the strap goes across. I play seated, on a stool I bought at GC. It's bad enough (been getting worse) that I...

    Double Bass EUB Shoulder Rest

    I have a Framus Triumph, and the "Rest" is horrible. It pushes the bass too far away from the player, and puts the player at some strange angles of attack. Has any other EUB players had a similar issue? If so, what did you do to solve it? I'm considering getting some round stock, and making a...

    Wanted Shoulder Rest for an EUB

    I have a Mid-1950's Framus Triumph Electric Upright Bass. It has the original should/body rest, which is Horrible. I like the looks of a couple of other EUB's shoulder/body rests. Does anyone have one they would part with? I'd be willing to Modify it to work with the Triumph. Cheers!

    shoulder injury - how to keep on playing?

    So I've torn my left rotator cuff and I can't extend my arm out from the side of my body more that 6 inches. Looks like it will be months before I'm back to normal. Right now I'm in excruciating pain when I move it or twist it wrong. I've tried playing and can only get close to a comfortable...

    Shoulder Exercises

    I'm not sure if this belongs here, but It fits here better than anywhere else... Are there any exercises a person can do to build up some shoulder strength? I'm looking to get back into gigging after a LONG layoff, and did a couple 2 hour practices over the weekend, standing. After each, my...
