So, I've just got my SG back from Jonathan at Feline the other day. The missus and nipper are visiting her parents for a few days tomorrow, so I have the house to myself. Perfect time to make some noise and break the plank in with some recording you would think?
But, no! I've only gone and sliced up the pad of my left-hand middle finger whilst clearing out some junk in the garage. :evil:
If it's not healed up by Wednesday, I'm trying the superglue technique...

superglue technique?

You cover any cuts with superglue, which then goes rock hard so you can do the gig without ripping it open and getting blood all over your nice shiny guitar. ;)

sounds.... erm.... lovely... :roll:

Superglue's actually quite widely used as an emergency suture. Was first used in Vietnam IIRC, and is quite useful for sealing a wound in conditions where bandages would just come off.

well you learn something new every day dont cha.... thats quite fascinating...
-
but does anything go wrong wen yu accidentally get it in the cut?
-
you basically squeeze the skin together (like doing a "butterfly" ) and then glue.
Very effective in combat sits. etc. as Muttley says.

wicked... im gonna try that.... *goes off to find a knife*

LMAO i thought i was the only one sitting at their computer desk self-harming just so they could try self-healing. mehehehe
-
oh no indy, theres a large following of us people who abide by the old saying "dont fix it if it aint broke".... you see, in order to fulfill our desire to fix, we break first.... genious...
-
superglue was developed pretty much for the reason to keep soldiers from leaking blood. its non toxic and binds skin rather well. im sure it was developed for WW2, or possibly vietnam. its also useful if you are a slap bassist and rip a hole in a finger :lol:
-
The only thing usefull for a slap bass player is the off button! LOL *Runs for cover*. No offense bass players, its not your fault that you didn't get on with the guitar. *Leaves room*
-
As a bass player there is no offence taken by me- I dislike slapping and popping on bass. Mark King was technically excellent but he had a lot to answer for in my view. I like nice thick creamy melodic bass with a smattering of funk- think Willy Weeks or Kenny Gradney or Ronnie Lane (and even Ron Wood). If the pop and slap fraternity cut their fingers it serves them bloody well right- there we go, rant over ( and yes I can do it but choose not to).

Sorry I must explain. I was in a band for a very long with a bass god ..who never knew when to shut up!!! Seriously funny when the soundman asks him to do a sound check and G plays something quiet and borring and the soundman say's"Got anything a bit punchier mate" and my collegue unleashs a torrent of low frequency abuse!!!LOL LOL LOL

hahahaha that sounds awesome :lol:

My uncle told me about the superglue thing when I jokingly suggested it years ago, and apparently it's a carinogen. Not sure how true that is but it's not something I'd put on myself either way you know. :lol: However, wikepedia, as always, has come up trumps.

Nope, it's non-toxic. You basically clean the wound and the close and seal it with the glue.

Ah, c'mon! Anything that spins you out if you inhale it can't be good for you. Non-toxic should mean you can eat the stuff.

I can think of many food-stuffs which in their raw form can "spin you out" if you inhale fumes from it. Doesn't mean they're toxic though. ;)

Practically anything with lots of Chili in can do that to me. I think I may have an intolerance for capsaicin.

Gutted. There's owt better than a good curry and a beer. Chicken Tikka Bihryani or a Dansak. Or any Rogan Josh....yum.
You tried that superglue thing yet?
Andy!
-
I believe it's a slightly different formulation for skin (I vaguely remember the brandname Dermabond)
So what size of wound would require a switch from regular to gel superglue.
I'm a bit worried as Sam has been quiet on this subject, has he cut too deep, or perhaps superglued his hands to somthing delicate ?
Speaking of low frequency abuse, an ex neighbour was a pretty damned good bass player, despite his slapping and popping (on bass) he did know when to shut up (unlike Mark King)
He followed the Mick Karn method and used to use two octave pedals, one for octave up and for one octave down (sometimes 1 down & 2 down).
It was really funny to watch other bassists killing their rigs, by running with the same effects but through one amp and cab ;)

Always dangerous giving bass players pedals because they insist upon using them.

Bass players should be seen and not heard. ;)
For bass players with ego problems, allow them to plug into the amp but on no account let them turn it on. :P

I think it's just you. ;) It's true that some foods have potentially toxic qualities, but not in normal consumption or scent. Peppers are in the nightshade family, which contain toxins. Most people are ok with them, but the green parts aren't good for anyone.

Searcher obviously hasn't searched as hard as I. This forum gets SO much less rock'n'roll than this thread, lol

unfortunately rob, both your theories were incorrect.... ive actually just been out for TWO AND A HALF RUDDY HOURS doing a RUDDY paper round....
note: the word ruddy has been used for the welfare of any mentally weak people on this forum.

Why were you doing it for so long :o The only one that ever used to take me that amount of time was the beastly morning rounds, especially on sunday. Even though my village is fairly small, the papers are bloody heavy in a trolley.

I'm just thinking about poor customer of Sam, imagine coming down in the morning and finding that Sambo has superglued himself to your window (or front door), I wouldn't wish to face that even without a hangover ;)
ONLY MESSIN BTW

you just keep 'messin' rob.... cause one day... your gonna need my help... and im gonna reject you without a care in the world..... 'n your gonna wish youd never tried to emotionally batter me as a child....
tom- it took ages because i had to make like 3/4 trips and there was three sets of leaflets that i didnt put in the papers so had to be delivered separately and sorted out in the street.
good news is my mates helping me with mine and im gonna help him with his.... we did it in about 1 and a bit hours last time....

So, I've just got my SG back from Jonathan at Feline the other day. The missus and nipper are visiting her parents for a few days tomorrow, so I have the house to myself. Perfect time to make some noise and break the plank in with some recording you would think?

Know the feeling Mutley!
Sods law is pants! I bought a £1800 half stack valve amp last year and shut my middle finger in a hammond organ's flight case on the day I bought it. That was in July and the nail didn't grow back until October. I couldn't play properly for weeks.

Ouch. Done similar in the past, and it's an experience I could well do without going through again. Bloody painful.

OHH I had to do 2 trips which was annoying enough. Plus one house had a scary dog that...well...scared me.

Sorry Muttley - I just heard about your accident from Jonathan so I thought I'd post and reassure you that the wait will be worth it!
I just got my strat back from Feline and the thing is a monster!

Sounds good Dave, what did you have done to it??
-
Johnny.. now you're askin'...
Totally rewired with HQ pots and jack.... neck and middle pickups switched around to get back to hum cancelling in positions 2 & 4... new scratchplate to finish the cosmetics just how I like.. and wait for it..
Dunlop 6000 refret! Not stainless steel like your Charvel but your mods gave me the idea..
Damn feels like glass!
I now have an amazing Strat - Uber Sinner + Birds eye maple abalone dots v taper back neck + 6000 frets.

Nice one Dave! It sounds wicked and if Jonathon did the work I bet it's a beaut! Those frets don't half make a difference don't they!

Lol!! I know the feeling. I've still got 3 to get sorted meself!

I'm having a Trilogy put into the middle position of the RG570 to match the warpig plus a fret dress and setup...
Then the Vandy will be rewired (2 volumes instead of master volume and tone) and dressed plus maybe have a Miracle Man neck put in to pair with the bridge.
Its got a FRED at the moment which I think will move to my Les Paul.
Ohh goody...
