Written by a bass player for bass players, The Bassist’s Guide to Injury Management, Prevention and Better Health Vol. 2 picks up where Volume One left off. As a companion to the acclaimed first volume, Volume Two presents all new material, and like its predecessor is designed to point out common and not so common problems that the musician may encounter during practice or performing situations. Common conditions seen in bassists and how to handle them, none repeated from Volume One, are covered, and an analysis of both double and electric bassists’ posture and right and left sided techniques are explored from an injury prevention perspective.
