All your doing is hardening the skin at the tips. Same way a chefs hands harden or a builder
Its not damaging the nerves just the skin getting tougher

How is not possible to affect the sound? Explain to me, i'm genuinely interested to hear this.
Just a sa point:
Piece of tape on your fingertip.
Piece of stonehard skin on your fingertip.
Which effects sound more? Exactly.
Small buffers between your fingers and the metalwire doesn't hurt.
Like a medical glove, doesn't harm the sound at all. Unless you're listening to music at one quarter of a milliamp of a difference in mind.
Sparx, workers and chefs use protective gear these days too just because they don't want to loose the feel.
HArdened skin can(LEARN TO READ THE WORD CAN!!!) block against micro blood channels(whatever they are called) and cause numbness etc.

Sorry to say mate no they dont.
I'm friends with 4 Chefs and none of them wear gloves.
My dad is a joiner and best mate is a builder oh and other good mate a plumber, none wear gloves
Not saying your wrong about the whole it can cause problems. I just dont think it will cause armageddon like your explaining.
All thats happening is the skin is hardening. I've had it before when i was in the army and my feet went through the whole hardening thing. They are perfectly fine now

No they don't.
So every guitar player in a band who has stone hard fingertips because they don't use protective tape are doing it wrong. Alright, are you going to tell them or shall I do it?
1: I didn't say it (hard fingertips) doesn't distort the sound, stop making things up. Also, you didn't say 'some' chefs/builders. Stop changing your argument to make yourself look right.
2: You remind of a guiy i used to work with. He had an opinion about everything. He was in hsi late 30's he worked in a crap job, i was on the same pay as him and had the same level of responsibility at 18. He always thought he was right, would never back down from an argument. It had got in him nowhere and he was middle-aged. he had no friends at work, and very few outside of work.
3: I'm 20 years old, i'm starting to grow out of the 'I know everything about everything and i'm always right' phase, and perhaps you should too.
For the troll: Actually it was a misunderstanding, but ofcourse that's something you can't understand.
It's blatantly an arguement tbh!
And yes i'm a fuckin troll. I have no exams for 10 days - I get one day off surely?
1: Which is exactly my point. So how would tape, which is less, harm the sound now? Also, i didn't say "all" either. I'm not changing anything.
2: Irrelevant to the max. I back down, i say i'm wrong, just not because you poull out a "i knew a guy" experience out your a**.
3: I'm 28, i know i'm not right all the time, knew it a long time, but i also KNOW that personal experience counts. You seem to think that only the things that happened to you count in an opinion. As in;
I say i got damage from playing the bass, it counts nothing in your world.
I say Chefs use protective gear(as i know they do) and you simply say "no they don't 'cause my mates don't!"
Get it?
I'm not the one with the problem here, you are, as you can't take an advice as what it is. Advice. But HAVE TO make it into some bigger thing. Not to mention, just shows how immature you are when you first call me a twat etc and then insuniate that i'm alone and grumpy and have no friends.
Though i have to say that it is so ironic that i could say to Aoami that "I played the bass before you were born"
I'd like to know what this 'damage' you did was?
Tape does distort the sound, hard fingertips don't. Why? because guitarists have hard fingertips, thus this 'distorted' sound is just the normal sound, because it's the same for everyone.
I know a lot of chefs as i used to be one, and none of us used protective gear, and none in any of the other kitchens i occasionaly worked in did either. It would be entirely impractical.
I won't take advice when it is bad advice.
I didn't make it into a bigger thing, you did after I laughed at the thought of 'guitar gloves'.
I possibly am immature, and as a result i don't take life seriously enough to wear 'guitar gloves'. Like 99.99% of the guitar playing population!
i pulled an 'i knew a guy' experience out of my arse because i thought it would be a lovely story to tell the people of freddyshouse.

Ironic, or irrelevant? No one is taking about Bass Guitars.
Yeah, ok. Next you're gonna say "it's a completely different thing with guitars!"...right?
It is, and you know it.
Bass guitars have strings about a million times thicker, of course there is a difference. It would be foolish to say there wasn't a difference. My Bass playing mate sometimes tape his thumb on his right hand if he was playing slap. He wouldn't do the same for a guitar because it's silly.
Glad you took all the relevant things out of that post...
The thickness doesn't count to the fact that hardening of the skin can cause problems.
Keeping it simple so you can't distort it.
I don't care about any of the other stuff. I posted in the thread at first to offer advice to Sparx, and my advice is don't worry about hardening of the skin, as has been everyone elses advice aside from yours.
The fact still remains that you're talking about your experience playing Bass, not guitar!
Metal strings on flesh...same matter....different area.
Get it?
Fuck this shit, i'm hacking off my hands
Learn to play with your teeth like Sir James of Hendrix. I'm not sure if you can get teeth gloves though, you'd have to ask Old.Tohtori about that.
It was pretty funny though.
