thedoctor Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I lost some stregth in my left thumb due to a mini-stroke. I found that my left hand would slide away from applied pressure to splayed-attack on the lower strings and realized it was time to figure a way to get more friction going on the neck side of my frettin hand. I got a good deal of orange-peel on the 12-string neck but it disappeared after about 4 weeks. "CURING" I think they call it. I recleared my WASP bass and rubbed the crud out of it after about 5 minutes. Nice, crusty laquear to hang my thumb on for about 2 weeks. Short of deck paint or that stupid sandpaper tape, how can I get a rough, non-abrasive spot on the back of the necks I play alot? Looks/appearance aint no prob.

Setch Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I'd opt to increase the grip on your hand, not the neck. Rockclimbers and weightlifters apply Rosin to their hands to aid grip, and bowed instruments use rosin on the bow hairs to aid friction, so maybe you could look into this.
