....waiting for Vette 5 string Bubinga and practicing on my old Squier bass after 25 Years of abstinence.....
I'm rusty, but that will be polished "in no time" (few months :) ). What i'm concerned is joint inflammation and pain in my fingers (arthritis). It would be damn shame to look at Warwick bass not being able to play, but let's hope for the best.
While waiting for Wick, this is recording made with mobile phone today on 25 Years old strings :)

Today i'm better and smoother on bass. In few days, i'll record again and post here. It must be like riding bicycle - you never forget (but need practice to get back in form)
It's odd to play bass after 1/4 century abstinence, but feeling is fenomenal - only that damn arthritis - im in pain, but it's a mix feeling - pain in hands, but smile on face
 
Welcome to the forum!

The Jamiroquai clip sounds just awesome!

May I recommend 2:30 (fingers) done twice a day. Observe and perform, it will work wonders.

You can also eliminate most sugar and flour from your diet, it is guaranteed to help with joint problems - inflammation.

God bless, 25 years of abstinence is just too long!

May you again enjoy playing bass (and what a bass that will be!)
 
Dayumn, just finished listening, you 're too good to not play, honestly, it would have been a much more interesting and fun quarter of a century!

This time on Warwick :)

recorded on Olimpus dictaphone (Line in this time - not microphone) (mp3 into bass combo, Warwick Corvette Bubinga into bass combo - from phones out into dictaphone)

Far from perfect, but better than few weeks ago.

This is recording setup (simple, but sufficient for my needs)
Everything on bass in the middle (bypassed electronic - passive), on combo amp only bass -3db and treble +8db
