    The bass player just phoned to call me a wimp, says he’d play regardless... had to point out he only knows three notes and two of them are open strings so an injury wouldn’t matter... :)

    As long as it’s not within 500meters of a school... yes! :)

    Sounds like my old bass player! ;)
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Ouch - always wear riggers gloves moving gear. Door-frames eat guitarists' fingers & knuckles !!!!!!
    This belongs in the ‘best advice you’ve ever had’ thread. After I smashed a finger quite badly - luckily right hand pinky - when I caught it between a flightcase and a door frame and had to play the gig in quite severe pain, I always have.

    Also, don’t work on your car the afternoon before an important gig either...

    Don’t think I can manage two sets just yet... and it hurts like buggery... but anything is possible I guess!

    late to the party here, but I'm pleased for you that things are going OK for now. I have suffered sliced fingers before now so you have my sympathy

    I got stung my a wasp on my right hand right before a gig once.. 

    My hand went giant and couldn't accurately move fingers. 
    Luckily i was only playing bass, put double sided tape on a pick so i didn't lose grip and managed to play :)

    Ah ya big jessies.

    I've gigged a low action strat with 9s the day after 4 stitches because I caught the edge of an industrial belt sander on my index finger. I've never seen so much blood before the stitches and I had to keep wiping the fingerboard after the first set so the audience didn't get grossed out. It was a 3 set function gig as well.

    Another time I slashed the second finger tip with a stanley knife while disposing of a DAT backup tape half a hour before setting off to an acoustic guitar only gig. Lots of superglue reqularly applied got me through.

    TBH the next day on both occasions was very very sore, the adrenalin must have got me through (along with some interesting fingering and abreviated solos). I hope you have a rapid recovery @poopot ;
