Sharing my experience, I noticed that after 30’-40’ of practice I need to wash my hands in super hot water. After a couple of minutes of this treatment, I can play for at least another hour and a half. Unfortunately I can’t play every day so I think it is not possible for me to increase training hours for now.

Loved the topic, and will absolutely follow the advices and get the book. But something that I feel that was missing and is critical, is talk with your bass teacher and your luthier. I recently got a double bass on discount from a player who got it from a store, who took it home and just couldn't hack it. When I tested it, it was horrible and unplayable. After changing the cheap strings to some low tension strings, and adjusting the bridge I got really disappointed to the store where the other player got it, as they didn't know anything about double bass, and they didn't told it's original owner that the instrument was not ready for use right out of the store. Anyone playing like it was would not endure more than a month without injury. The amazing guitarist from argentina Ricardo Mollo recently: "I now choose guitars by how much they weight and not so much by how they sound".

Thanks for watching and your comment is totally spot on. That was an oversight on my part - thank you for bringing this to light!

@@LearnJazzBasswithMattRybicki Absolutely not an oversight. Rather, it's a topic that deserves more air time.
