zapp Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Firstly mate I'm really sorry to hear of your injury to your hand. If its any comfort I had an accident back in 2000 when I had close to half of 3 fingers crushed off my left hand by some hydraulic rescue equipment. It took a while, maybe 2 1/2 to 3 years but I discovered (by accident, noodling in a music shop) that I could still play reasonably well. And with a bit of practice and adapting my left hand technique I now play Bass better than I did before. I don't know the extent of your injuries but I do know that its possible to overcome some pretty serious injuries. There's a guy on you tube (Bill Clements) who lost his right arm and he still plays (very well as it happens). I guess its like anything in life, if you want it badly enough you will succeed. Stay positive and good luck. Edited March 15, 2008 by zapp

King Tut Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Just thought I'd pop on to say....I've got a similar Crafter - and it's a complete gas to play, lovely bass - when I get her out I can noodle for hours. Sounds spookily like a double bass as well!

I had to adapt my playing style majorly after the op, but it's certainly do-able and I wish you the very best of luck.
