    Playing the bass can be physically demanding and potentially painful if you’re not used to it. The large strings require more force to press down, which can strain your fingers. Also, the neck of the bass is wider and thicker than a guitar’s, which can lead to discomfort in your hand and wrist. To minimize pain, it’s important to stretch before playing, start with short playing sessions and gradually increase your time, and use a comfortable grip. If pain persists, it might be a good idea to consult a medical professional.
