[quote name='mike257' post='150899' date='Mar 4 2008, 10:17 AM']I think I've had the luckiest escape from dings....
I was playing a show in a rock club of questionable sophistication in Warrington, we'd finished up and started loading out of the fire doors next to the stage. I'd stopped to track down my bottle of water when someone grabs me and says the words you never want to hear....
"Hey mate, some smackhead's just made off out the door with your guitar!"
He'd grabbed the nearest thing off our guitar stand and legged it into the darkness. The load out stopped and we made off in after him. We eventually caught up with him, he'd dumped it in a patch of grass just off the main road, and tried to make an exit from the seven angry scousers who were in hot pursuit.
Unbelievably, we got it back to the venue, and there wasn't a single scratch or dent on it. Those things are indestructible [/quote]
If I caught up with someone who attempted to steal one of mine I would add another ding to the beast by using it to teach the thief a lesson. Scum.
The first is always the worst!
