LukeFRC Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 so..... the band made this video.... and the bass player was in on it..... my main problem- it's not funny- it's not even a good way to comically damage something - like -they hit it on a door.... that's not funny, or rock and roll... it's just... if you're going to smash something do it well.

4 Strings Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1381853413' post='2244577'] A boring tale......... I played a festival once where the middle class twunt of a bass player who went on before us threw his Ampeg SVTIII head off the back of stage during the load out "because I'm having a bad day". It broke into many pieces. [/quote] Thought they were supposed to survive that sort of abuse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1381781435' post='2243769'] No I'm not joking; Fender really do claim to be able to predict the sound of a finished bass by tapping on the neck and the body . Hilarious but true ! [/quote] Saying they can predict something by doing it is one thing but I'm afraid I can't believe they do anything of the sort to the hundreds of pieces of wood that pass through their mass production every day. The bodies are machined a stack at a time. Especially the Mex bodies: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/chadbang/media/IMG_5891.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/chadbang/IMG_5891.jpg[/IMG][/URL] You may find a custom builder doing something like this as he wanders through his suppliers stock.

[/quote] I was being facetious. The saddest bit was not so much the loss of the classic amp but the Dad's reaction. I wonder if spotty youth hurled diagonally onto a concrete slab would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I know you were and you're right - it was the dads reaction more than anything that got me riled and I would have hurled him diagonally onto the concrete slab if he weighed less than the 22 stone he appeared to be.
