I played elctric bass in a fusion group, young but getting good. Almost fell in a depression, couldn't work nor play music. A tough 8 months... still get nightmares even after 30years.
I really stick to security instructions now. In fact it was real helpful in teaching newbies when I was foreman. Just show the stubs and they listen real good!
I only lost the first phalanx so the fingers are usable for anything else other than music... and finger painting
