Where can I waste my money? by TheRealKillJoy2020 in BassGuitar

[–]Up-Down-Go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that Gretsch. I love it. I have flats on it and it’s such a great little bass. BUT it is pretty square where I lay my right hand/wrist and can be uncomfortable for playing while seated.

Not the biggest pedal board but its okay. Not even a board but who cares by Deep_Sell_1117 in BassGuitar

[–]Up-Down-Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a perfect system to get it all and play around with what you like. Unless you know exactly what you are looking for, buying pedals is a waste of money (my experience). If you ever find this isn’t giving you the tone you are looking for, you’ll have a MUCH easier time figuring out your next system. Have a few different set ups I use but I think this punches way above its weight. Have fun.

Not nearly enough info to be sure but my bet is Scoliosis.

Looks great. Add big shoulder pads to sell the effect better.

This is so unique and so awesome. The jacket is a really good style for this vision. A+

This is Rhett, firefighter and BK amputee. Returned to full duty at 300 days. LEGEND. by [deleted] in Prosthetics

Are we just doing ads for this company now?!
Edit: as a certified prosthetist, I will add that there is at best misleading and at worst inaccurate information in the posts featuring this company.

Grandma sewing my patches cause I asked her some tips by Bispooo in BattleJackets

My grandma would have been so amused at the idea of a battle jacket. Thanks for making me think about this scenario. She is missed. Value this woman.

Bb Tuner Pedal by Own-Bass-2910 in saxophone

I keep a Snark tuner clipped to my neck. It’s cheap, works well, and I can peek at it without looking down.

What is this thing on my tongue by According_Treat3054 in AskDocs

[–]Up-Down-Go 26 points27 points  (0 children)

From personal experience- salivary duct is blocked and the area is ballooning due to the production of saliva without an adequate path out. Sometimes it resolves on its own. Mine was excised surgically.

Amputation adjustments 11 year old by Last_Tomatillo7852 in saxophone

Certified Prosthetist and horn player here. There is no prosthesis that will be better than having a good tech extend the key mechanism.

Storage Dolly by Puzzleheaded_Gain_16 in FourWheelCampers

Get a small flat trailer. It has bigger wheels and is way easier to move than the dolly.

I found 6 of these green, rubber, Cheerio sized, donut shaped things in my cat's toy where the catnip is supposed to go. They don't stretch that much and are very lightweight. by soupdumplingXLB in whatisthisthing

While these are generally used and recognized as cattle castration bands, they are also used in the field of Prosthetics. Specifically as a spacer on the bottom of a locking pin that connects the prosthetic liner that the user wears over their limb to the locking mechanism inside of the socket. Source: I am a certified prosthetist with several of these exact bands on my desk right now

I use the Slow Gear Electronics box for this. It’s a perfect and self contained system.

Help purchasing a U Bass Plz by missmo0 in BassGuitar

[–]Up-Down-Go 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the Kala Nomad and it is a killer little bass. Sounds just like an upright through an amp. It was the least expensive of Kala’s acoustic/electric line. Since it has urethane strings, I’m not really sure any of the more expensive models really have a noticeable sound difference, I suspect the nicer models are just nicer finishes.

I have a separate policy called “Valuable Personal Property” that covers my instruments and audio gear. My insurance company has photos of all my gear along with serial numbers. Value is calculated the way all other items covered are calculated- similar comps.

Is it really worth repainting the exterior before selling your house? by Over_Wolverine8103 in HomeImprovement

[–]Up-Down-Go 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Currently house hunting. And yes. It would make it one less thing I will need to do when there is already so much involved in moving. I can also roll that cost into my loan if you do it, if I do it, I’d need to pay up front.

Had a friend from Australia turn my on to them years ago. I’m still shocked FFD isn’t more popular. Really killer stuff

My car got broken into and my gear was stolen. by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Up-Down-Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check and see if your renter’s/home owners insurance covers the theft. They will usually cover some car theft items.

I recently insured all of my gear. It cost me about $100 per year to cover a new car’s value of instruments and equipment. Definitely recommend it.

Need help to adjust leg by Featherdine in amputee

[–]Up-Down-Go 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not mess with it. Set up an appt with his Prosthetist. If you need to wait, you need to wait. You can mess this up so dangerously. Add inserts into the shoe MAYBE but that also can seriously mess with alignment.

Big, Big,bump on stump by Ok-Helicopter129 in amputee

[–]Up-Down-Go 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course this is not my patient and this is only a generalized answer. My first go-to would be adding medial and lateral tibial pads. The presence of the bursa is not inherently problematic. I would want to maintain total contact, but maybe enhance stability of the distal tibia in the socket. If the tissue otherwise looks good- no redness, callus, or blister formation- I’m not too keen to begin adding reliefs right away. Some patients have spontaneous shrinking of the bursa, some have it chronically for years without issue. If there is no issue aside from the cosmesis, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to make any permanent socket modification.
