Winter build Off 2019 – Mash Up
- Thread starter Scoops
- Start date
I went through the very same thing last year at this time, to the point of losing all feeling in the first three digits in both hands; I couldn't hold a pick and I couldn't feel to pick up anything with my fingers. I was fortunate to find a sports therapy surgeon (okay, my wife works in the health care industry and she found me a surgeon).
I bravely did both hands at the same time... Think about it Folks... Not pretty (my wife of 9 1/2 years looked at me and said "We don't know each other well enough for me to help you out in that area")...
Fortunately I ended up with a 1/4" incision on each wrist and just a few days of down time. My feeling came back in my left hand immediately (easily 95%), my right hand came back slower, about 70% in the beginning but as I write this I have had a 100% recovery.
It is my wish that you have the same results.

I am getting the right hand done first, than 2-3 months after that, the left hand. My fingers tingle every single day right now. Sometimes I cant hold onto a glass. I also sometimes looks like Captain Hook in both hands. So it is something that has to be done. To be honest, I am just hoping to be able to get back to somewhat normal conditions

This is the time of year I start spending significantly more time on Talkbass lol. I can't wait to see the results. Last year was awesome!
It's amazing to see so many builds going at once! I can't keep track of them all.
I'm just a little concerned that all of the builds going on right now takes away from the rest of the LC.
Builds are the LC IMO other things should be in Setup and Repair, and with the increased activity there's more eyes to see build questions that arise.
I think I'm following them all now... you guys are incredible!!! Late February is gonna be a flurry of craziness as the finishes dry, the troubleshooting commences, and the last second lightning bolts change the game.
have you been looking at my notes?
Is there a "I built my own damn bass, bitches" club or such like? (Maybe not that name precisely. I've been binge watching Breaking Bad lately, thus the phraseology.)
