Unexpected bass playing injuries

[Richard R]

Some serious injuries on this thread,  quite made me wince.

So far I am injury-free - bruised ego and shattered confidence don't count.

That's the great thing about headless basses, you only get the singer in the ear if you really want to.

One night after downing a few sherberts, I was packing the kit in the trailer. Loading my Traynor head, which was heavy enough to have it's own gravitational field, I didn't quite take the usual care and managed to squash my finger. That spilt a fair bit of claret, caused a night in casualty and three stitches in the tip of my main plucking finger. It took months before I was able to use it again and I still have a scar 30 odd years later

This morning I was so excited at receiving a message from eBay saying I'd won an auction for a Line 6 Helix LT that I slipped on wet grass and broke my ankle in 2 places!

I suppose now you're hopping for a swift recovery..?

I'm looking for sympathy votes in the composition challenge 😁

Annoyingly, we've got a gig in Morecambe a week on Thursday! Hopefully 'twill be in plaster by then so at least the slightest eructation doesn't hurt.

I only got a small injury once when gigging - moved my right hand thumb too close and active to E string, while playing on A, and it ended with a blood. Nothing special, just mention.

Did me cruciate in the left knee hopping from side to side while playing ska in the Fleece and Firkin back in the 90s.

Still get a twinge when the weather turns.
