what are some excersizes i could do to get more stamina in my left and right wrists when im playing bass? My left hand eventually runs out of energy from pushing down frets when im playing really fast and my right hand wears out from playing too fast.. haha.. what could i do/use to excersize those muscles?? Thanks in advance..

Try forearm curls and/or use one of those squeeze balls.

I never really did extra exercises i just played a lot of bass. Play beyond the point it hurts. or use the squeese ball sounds good. just practice away :bang: rock on

jerk it........ :huh:

theres prolly exercises tabbed out... I found some exercise to help build strength for a lot of elements for guitar... but on tabit.. im sure guitar pro has shit

aww man.. joke overload.. i.. cant.. handle.. this..

Thanks guys.. what about those grip things that you squeeze? their two handles with a spring kinda deal in the middle. I don't know what their called. Anyway, does that work the muscles used? Thanks alot

Anything that works the forearms and hands will give you more stamina, so that^ would be a good idea too.

indeed.

:bang: i've been playing bass for a long time now and the best way to get stronger is just to play and play, also if you ar :wavey: e playing in a band it makes it easier to keep going because you have to keep up with the rest of them, practice practice practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One word. Slayer.

or warm up with something like anasthesia, thats good for stretching and warming up

recently i've been using these exercises tom morello tabbed out in guitar one magazine. bassically u take every possible combination of fingerins and just keep plaing that up the strings then backwards down.

??? what

like

1234 1234 1234 1234 4321 4321 4321
1324 1324....
1243.....
1342 .....

ect

I do that everyday...

as you should.

i was just saying for the people that dont know how to build up stamana and dexderity.

Hey don't you have a 6string hammer? I'm interested in getting one, any recommendations?

I play a five (ibanez edb 605). I've played a couple ibanez 6 strings at a guitar center that were nice. Eventually i'm thnking of gettin one.

Do press up's and play on a regular basis then your stamina and speed will increase as your hands and brain get used to the pattern's you will play on the instrument.

I play bass,and I have the same problem years ago,playing every day and learning more difficult songs is very good for resistence,rock on

Never click your fingers. I used to be fast as fuck

But nowdays my fingers get more tired, all because i clicked my fingers

exercise wrists and stuff is just bullshit you just have to play more bass

which is working out your wrist :blink:

Owned :laugh:

:laugh:

so cracking your fingers is bad??
