World Basement Classic

Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.

That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.

So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.

Anyway, I can recommend https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7pt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile as a listen.

Good tunes. I love the Stone Roses.

@diffrentcolours Different string types (round wound, flat wound, nylon tapewound, etc), gauges and even brands can require more or less strength to hold the string down btw. Might be worth looking into something a little more flexible and easy to handle for now if it gets you playing more.
