Hey folks  Playing bass on and off for 30 years, but it has been my main istrument for the last few years. Arthritis unfortunately took the guitar out of my hands but i am really enjoying being a dedicated bass player  
 
Hoping to grab a 5 string Mark King in the balance K shape in the not too distant future.
 
peace,
 
jim

Welcome!
 
I lived in Clinton, NJ for a few years back in the 90's before moving to AZ.
 
I've found bass to be more arthritis-friendly than guitar.
 
And, IMO, Alembics are the most arthritis-friendly bass. They can be set up so well that they almost play themselves!

I don't really need it to play itself, but if it wants to split the duties 50/50 i could live with that! LOL

Also a bassist from New Jersey, welcome. I'm new here myself and really looking forward to one day owning an alembic of my own.
