After a verse-or 2-I switch from playing 'oom-pah' to a more walking pattern(1-3-5-3, repeat-sorta).Can't say I've ever played that song, but do like it. I'd be concerned with getting a left hand cramp on that one. I can only play the same few notes over and over for so long before I start looking for different fingering to keep the hand from locking up.
You can stay. You're always welcome here. But be warned, you'll start having a thing for multiple Thunderbirds.
Probably kept it from overheating though.
I didn't know you had so many tattoos...You know me though, I prefer a different kind of iconic bass, even if it's a Spector

Thinking loudly....yeah, I probably do that. One thing I've rarely been accused of is being subtle
I've been lurking over there for a bit, but not super into the fancy wood tops & such very much. Those guys would prolly hate me if I ever actually bought a Spector, I'd have it painted a nice, solid, metallic red
Somebody needs to use moisturizer a bit more frequently...
you tell her…Somebody needs to use moisturizer a bit more frequently...
I bet I can run faster scared than she can run angry...

I had my surgery follow up today!
TL;DR
Expecting a positive outcome. Now I need my new Thunderbird
The longer story
The 5lb plaster boxing glove is off. I finally got to see the surgical wound. I washed my hand which relieved the persistent itching! And stitches are out.
I now embark on the rehab. There is still a fair bit of swelling. This week is passive flexion (no extension yet) and I have a new, light weight removable splint to maintain the partial flexion when I am not doing the rehab. But no more showering with a bag on my hand!
In terms of surgical outcome, results were excellent. But the reality of any orthopaedic surgery is that long term results are directly correlated to following rehab.
For those who would like to see pictures of the surgical scar with and without stitches - you're sick!
Now the race is on: can I complete enough rehab to play my new Thunderbird when it comes in?
Thank you.Awesome, really good news........Scars are sexy, we'll expect a pic when Thunderbirds are a go.

How about: "I showed up at a gig with a Thunderbird."
Very disturbing. Trying to get us to look at your crotch by claiming to be showing your tats...
