Thought I'd mention that my claw isn't due to an injury. It's from upright bass fingering early in my musician life. Anyhoo, I am doing exercises to help my left hand but I think I'll be forever clawed no matter what I do. I play a few minutes of left handed bass per day where I pluck with pointer and middle, then middle and ring, then ring and pinky. It's working pretty well to develop my left hand a little better for my regular right handed guitar playing.
Take a good look at the two links I posted. Think about carpal tunnel syndrome, that's considered an injury.

Darn Clint 55, I learn something new about you every day.
So you studied upright? :o Awesome! . I studied fretless electric bass... wanted to play the upright;
but decided not to. Because it was so expensive; hard to lug around- and not easy to learn/play either. It's still my favourite bass (and bowed) instrument.
\m/If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

Pretty sure that's what they now call "carpal tunnel"
Used to get that way in a job that involved huge volumes of typing at like 90 WPM... went away on its own after I ragequit.
Actually, would even go away with breaks of just a few days, but would recur if you went back to the activity that caused it too much and too early"New stuff always sucks" -Me

^ For the 80th time, it's not an injury. My ring sticks paired next to my middle while passive from upright bass fingering. If I go to move them, they function normally.

That's cool that you studied fretless. Do you still have one? I don't remember. The only bass I have right now is a P bass that I fixed up. I don't have an upright anymore for the reasons you said. Expensive, tough to play, etc. My goal is to just get to playing 1 instrument - guitar - well. Maybe I should revisit upright in the future. I'm pretty good. Can hold it down pizzicato and I can play well with the bow - in tune with vibrato and everything.
:/
but please; keep playing! . I love the sound of an upright.If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!
