    I think bass by my knees is definitely the way to go for a while, although I’m probably a bit old for that look....

    [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1509284425' post='3397761'] Be aware that the most difficult part of playing will be picking your bass up. As you do lose grip strength for a while. Actually, playing is probably good for your hand, to make sure full hand movement and flexibility is retained. Don't overdo it though and if it hurts stop.. [/quote] My movement and flexibility is actually pretty goood to say I only had the surgery on Tuesday, I've even had a few minutes on the bass. As you say, I have absolutely no strength in my right hand at the moment, I'm regretting taking the TI flats off one of my basses, the chromes take some playing!!

    [quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1509125734' post='3396887'] You've got off more lightly than I did - especially on my second one. Sounds like a key-hole job but didn't think they could do carpals that way. [/quote] No key hole, sliced open and stitched up again, about an inch long cut with four stitches. In and out in a little over 30 minutes, hurt like a bugger and swelled up the first night but starting to settle down now, I did manage five minutes on the bass earlier today, wish I’d not taken those TI flats off! Those chromes are pretty tight! At the moment I just have no strength or grip, will hopefully improve a little every day.

    This is traded subject to the usual.

    A very sore post carpal tunnel surgery bump...

    Well surgery done, in and out in half an hour, here was me expecting to have a great big pressure bandage, and he shoves a plaster on it!!! He seems to think that a gig in 17 days should be ok and to start playing a little bit in a day or two!

    [quote name='fftc' timestamp='1508273404' post='3391084'] Is this just for trade or is a straight sale an option? [/quote] Hoping for a trade really, hopefully she is so beautiful she will convince someone to part with their equally beautiful jazz ..

    And here she is with the original pickguard, looks very different it’s like having two basses ! [URL=http://imgur.com/ejRFlzF][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ejRFlzF.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    pots date to 26th week of 1964, which would have been the end of June.

    Just whipped the neck off quick, thought it was June 64, pot and pick up photos will have to wait until Tuesday I’m afraid. [URL=http://imgur.com/ljh5QkY][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ljh5QkY.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    [quote name='CH161' timestamp='1508181275' post='3390348'] What a great looking bass! I take it the finish is in nitro? Do you happen to know the neck date? Does it have its original case? [/quote] Finish is quite an old nitro and it’s starting the check, more so on the back than the front, but can’t really capture it on the camera though, my recollection is the neck date being June 1964, but will check on Tuesday when I have time to take a look. No original case I’m afraid.

    Few more photos, there are a few marks on the back of the neck, but it’s lovely and smooth.

    Thinking of trading this rather lovely 1964 Fender Precision for a Fender jazz, late 60s or early 70s, bit of cash either way if needed, however I very well may have a change of heart!! She has had a refinish in the original Fiesta red, and also neck has been refinished, and replacement period correct decal. Great refret done by Stuart at Electro music in Doncaster who was able to keep the original nut. Pots date to june 64 Original black bottom pick ups Original bridge Original tuners Beautiful Original mint pickguard which has been screwed down to ply since I took it off, and original metal shield Original pickup cover (no bridge cover) Original tug bar Currently wearing a rather exquisite aged 60s speckled burgundy Spitfire tort pickguard imported from the US which cost £300 (it’s beautiful) Clay (or whatever they were) fret dots on front and side of fretboard (late 64 they changed to pearloid) Beautiful Brazilian board Pictures of neck, pot codes pickups etc will follow on Tuesday when I have a little time. Cavities are currently shielded and she runs lovely and quiet, this can obviously be reversed pretty easily. I do love this bass so I’m very torn, however I find myself preferring my jazz bass and have a 73 Precision which covers the P bass options..

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1507838832' post='3388345'] https://flic.kr/p/Xb5LGE My wrist/hand is fecked, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, can't you dep out or as suggested share this one? Maybe a basschat collective effort?! [/quote] Oh dear, that looks like pretty major surgery compared to what I’m having done! Is that metal plate still in there?

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1507829773' post='3388277'] Is 10 days the time allotted for this operation by your insurance company? They will have a sliding scale for operations and periods they won't cover you whilst recuperating. [/quote] Yep, insured to drive once the stitches are out, surgeon said I physically I would be able to drive before then, but they like the stitches to be out first. I’m planning on a steady couple of weeks sat at home, not working, watching movies and box sets, (with a little bit of bass when I’m able)
  23. chrisanthony1211
    [quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1507798327' post='3387971'] as asked before Is it open or endoscopic surgery - this affects the recovery profile and scarring [/quote] They’re going to be slicing it open .. stitches out 10 days later when I can drive again.
  24. chrisanthony1211
    Think I shall speak with the venue and let them know the situation, after I have the surgery I will see what the surgeon has to say, the advice seems to be to use it as much as is comfortable, they’re not cutting and tendons involved with moving the fingers, but the tendons going across the wrist...

    [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1507673987' post='3387235'] I had a gig the day after I had the stitches out. Which was about 2 weeks post op. I didn't have any complications and the operation went very well. Of course we are all different and heal at different rates. So best to play it by ear. [/quote] That’s reassuring, I plan on playing the gig (and not going to hell...)
