Borrowed Basses For Shows - Share Your Horror Stories!


Recommended Posts

Hey Folks,

 

This bass was lent to me when I toured with melodramatic Mancunian singer/songwriter Kev Fox across Poland back in 2013 and it had some interesting features... namely an open seam on the back and the scroll had been completely snapped off!

The story is that the bass was on its side in the studio years prior and a musician lifted it up quite vigorously, snapping the scroll off as it struck the underside of an upright piano.

It definitely made the bass interesting to look at and given the beast spent most of its time in the back of a van in a polystyrene-lined universal case I suppose it was a good thing that it wasn't a prized instrument of a few hundred years old.

 

What's the wackiest tour bass you've been handed for a string of shows?
