I Smashed my fingers in a door yesterday

[colorblindbass]

more like, Closed my fingers in a front, solid, mahogany door.

Left hand,
first, middle, and ring.

i almost Broke um....
it felt like they were slowly being rolled over by a car.
it hurts to move um,

but worst of all, i cant fret notes on my bass

Ouch, almost feel your pain.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the Peavey TNT combo in the trunk of my Chrysler Concorde, tried to grab it out, and somehow it slid and smashed my left middle finger between it and the latch. I thought it was broken for a second, but thankfully I was able to complete the gig. I never bruise easily, and I had a decent bruise through and between the two knuckles on that finger.

Time to work on your right-hand technique.

[ADbassman]

That wasn't very smart. What provoked you to do that?

[SoComSurfing]

You got off pretty lucky. I did THIS a little over 2 weeks ago, and am just now getting some movement back in the last knuckle, and just tonight was able to get a bit of blood from under one of the nails.

[MakiSupaStar]

No pics. No booboo.

[santucci218]

yeah, no pics, no door.

[Valerus]

Ouch!

Sorry man.

I've felt the same way before. Snapped my finger, I was in a case for too long. Couldn't play the bass.

[colorblindbass]

will post pics tonight lol

i had a little bit of blood squirt from middle finger also
Yuck

havent played bass in three days now, im starting into a depression lol.

No idea why, but my brother had his hand on the ground as he was packing up his pedalboard after practice yesterday, and I rolled his speaker cab over his curled fingers, basically folding his fist far tighter than it should be. HARD. That's what he gets for asking a bassist to pack his crap away!

[Fontaine]

that didnt tickle.

[jomahu]

ow, that sucks.

guess you just have to use your tongue....


seriously, tho, get that **** checked out, man.

[The Golden Boy]

Rub some dirt on it and drive on.

[middy]

Don't do that!

[Fassa Albrecht]

Simple solution-play bass correctly, right hand fretting,left hand plucking.

[The Alexander]

Way to go.

[Thor]

I suggest quitting playing and donating all your gear to us.



Seriously, its every bassist's worst nightmare.

I remember back in 1986, I was removing a lathe head from
a lathe and the sucker fell down and whacked my right middle
finger. Must weighed 50 lbs for sure.

I had a gig that night, so I had the walk-in ER guy tape my index to the splint he put on the middle finger and tape a pick to the whole business. I got through it but it wasn't one of my finer shows.

[colorblindbass]

ok well first off, Camera's broken

after Icing it all day yesterday, i tried to play a bit earlier,
it actually worked ok

so hopefully ill be somewhat pain free for the gig i have saturday night.
(i dont care if theres blood squirting out from my finger nails, im playing.)
