every time i use my pinky when i play bass my pinky hurts it get like poped out can i just not use my pinky or something casue its pissing me off
It's only a matter of time before you can use it properly, it's just a phase you have to get through.
yeah with practice you'll get there. just practice playing mayor chords for exercising and you'll be ok when your pinky gets callouses and mobility..
I guess it depends on hand size, but stretching exercises should help, just go back and forth from the 1st to 4th. Or 5 or 6 frets apart lower on the neck.
