Aight so I took a break from playing bass about 2 years ago. When I quit I was playing off and on anyway. My calluses eventually deteriorated.  Anyway I've starting jamming again by myself and with a couple of friends. And my fingers are killing me. I never really had any problems keeping them when I played regularly but I want to speed up their forming, cause my left hand is on fire all day. I heard about a rubbing alcohol trick, but do any of my fellow BSNers have any tips?

Lots and lots and lots of practice. No short cuts...just hard work. I know some people will put a thin layer of crazy glue on their fingers but  hear that can make it hard to feel your place.

I can't do the crazy glue method. I press down too hard ( which may be a factor as well) and it flakes off lol. I'm not looking for a short cut per say I'm looking for a method to help build those puppies up in addition too.

Just going to have to go through the pain for a few days.

I did a trick when I played bass much more frequently that basically involved taping my thumb along each finger in alternating order (pointer, middle, ring, pinky; then middle, ring, pinky, pointer; etc.) over and over again all through the day when I Wasn't playing/practicing. It helped to develop coordination and the repeated tapping does help desensitize your fingertips if you do it all day in your spare time. I still do it as an absent habit and my fingers don't scream out in pain if I pick up a bass and play for a few hours every now and then.

Hope that helps!

You need to suffer to be beautiful . It not a race bro. If it's hurt too much just wait until you can play again. It will eventually not hurt
