OK....my digital will be fixed on saturday. Once it is, I will take some pics of my 410, but I can't take them of my bass. I had to leave it at school in Germany for the semester break. I have a pic of me playing it....I will upload that for now, but will give the real one of my baby once back in germany. Sorry!

I have tendon damage in my hand from moving a fridge (dropped a fridge on my hands 4 years ago).

I can only play fior a certain amount of time till my hands cramp up like crab claws. For some reason, Nancies makes my hands cramp in like 3 minutes where as i can play billies all day.

My hand cramps sometimes, but it usaully goes numb first, due to CTS. Since it goes numb fairly quickly I usually have to stop due to numbness before cramps. Some days the CTS isn't so bad and I cramp up. I like those days better because I can play for longer stretches. I'll never be able to play live due to this. That and I suck. :D
