And yes, I do get that numb finger sensation sometimes. I did a 'shred test', one at room temperature, the other at a cold jamming studio. As expected, I could only go half my usual speed in the freezing studio. Your fingers and the strings together will feel cold and clammy.
Neck warping? Avoid drastic humidity changes and control temperature. (No on/off air con, heat changes, etc.)

blahblah said:Cloudsky said:I see i see, but the thing is i switch it(air con) on every night, so would it be better if i leave it in a gigbag ever night after playing
Btw, thanks for the advice so far guys.
yea thats what i do. preferbly a thick gig back that can maintain the inner temperature to keep it constant not those thin ones. mine is so thick it can stand on its own lol. no joke, even spikes saw it and bought one for himself. my rg inside the bag fell flat on the ground 3 times, not a scratch, crack or dent.
what bag u usin'?

ahhh... me and my friend had a gig and our fingers were near numb, we would have put them in boiling water if there were any around...
well, yea it kinda slows you down, but i kinda found a way to take advantage of it - warm your fingers up by just moving them around in a scaling/shredding/arp/whatever-u-like-motion, then take out your guit/bass and try to play the "hard" stuff that you're gonna play later. soon you'll realise the cold NUMBS your fingers, but mostly just the sense of touch. shred away! you wont even kno if your finger dropped off already. :smt023
i think this is especially good for players who get finger cramps when you shred continuously (esp on bass) for 5 mins, or some whose fingers feel pain really easily whether because of sliding on strings or whatsoever.

there should be a "moderate drinking for musical pleasure" gig. choose your drink. one bottle. down it. gig. (each person should be limited to one bottle to prevent those cannot-tahan-but-wanna-showoff types from over-drinking) bet it'll be a cool gig with some psychadelic stuff 8)
