Foster Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hello all, i was wondering why i hadn't been able to get onto the bassworld forum in a long time and i found out you moved! Anyways, i bought an epi thunderbird off a forum member on bassworld in february - wonderfull bass it is, i loves it But playing it today and the strap came off, cue the neck diving to the floor with a loud thud Now there be slight cracks either side of the neck, gonna take it to the local repair clinic on tuesday So, sorry to the guy i bought it off, i knows it was your pride and joy! And the moral of the story is - make sure you cover every hard surfacein your home with 16" thick sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mottlefeeder Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 [quote name='beerdragon' post='2953' date='May 20 2007, 02:44 PM']Nearly happen to me, Straplocks, that cured it [/quote] I have had 7 years of playing without dropping a bass, but with my new bass, with straplocks, I have had two near misses in two weeks, both due to my error in not pushing the pin fully in. I'm going back to my old way - strap onto strap button, plastic 'straplock' to hold it on. YMMV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
