Clarky Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not having gigged DB since 2019, my gigbag has been in storage in my garage since then. Imagine my surprise when I pulled it yesterday to discover that it has been half-eaten and ravaged by mice. I feel a new commercial opportunity for mice-relic'd bass gear under the Road(ent)worn banner. Kerboom tish 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I've had the privilege of seeing this up close and personal ... the damage is even more impressive than this photo suggests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 When it's real roadworn, then it has real mojo. As opposed to instruments that are ' reliced ' at the build point, which is just sad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Just checked out Mousechat and someone has posted the following: "Took the kids to church as per normal and after a nice meal by the river we returned home to find that some absolute animal has stolen our house! We moved in three years ago and after extensive renovations had just got it the way we wanted. Really, you wouldn't expect this to happen in Hammersmith..."

Fozza Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 An old band mate used to have a Strat that had been mouse masticated. He got it cheap from a bloke who had stored it in his loft for years. Roland and chums had been nibbling away at it so a chunk of the lower cutaway was missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Wonder what flavour your gigbag is? Instead of cheese in a mousetrap, Clarky's gigbag flavour bait? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) There was some discussion about this on BassRat earlier. Opinion is split as to whether Stentor or Gewa bags taste better. Of course, some of the more hardcore types are saying that hard cases taste best and only wimps eat gigbags.

Pea Turgh Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I had an issue with mice when my stupid cat kept bringing in live ones for sport and misplaced a couple. One of them did my Barefaced cab in (probably heard about tolex issues and thought I wouldn’t notice). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
