Pinball Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Answer Build quality! Fender owners look away now. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14aau3vj9cM[/media] The bass player died soon after his bass. The band Guitar Wolfe had were a success, and starred in a film called Wild Zero. Neither band or film were for the faint hearted. Edited August 27, 2012 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 aww come-on you have to admire his determination. Most would either have given up or sobered up by the 3rd swing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowner Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you tried that with a Thumb, you'd strain your back and shoulder muscles so badly the first swing would be your last me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 He was worn out after the third swing, and I think he only bust the body along the line of the two-piece join. I can't believe the neck join didn't give up, you'd think that would be a weak spot. Mind you, that guy seems like a bit of a drink of water and the P had him beat.

Gust0o Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Obviously, the gap in the neck pocket by the Fender QC was cushioning the blow - a well-conceived compression joint, allowing the guitar to flex with each ill-informed and foolish swing But, nah, not my bat.

[/quote] Call it intuition if you like, but have a sneaking suspicion that this young man might have lacked the the good sense and foresight to ensure his musical equipment was properly insured. This kind of behaviour can also void most policies, I expect. Edited August 27, 2012 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademan_98 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It has always made me sad to see this. I know it's supposed to be rock and roll When you struggle to afford nice basses and some 'artist' smashes up one on stage Regards a sad old bassist with gas lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 To be honest, if you try and smash your guitar up after a gig nowadays it just ends up looking like a terrible cliche. People would be right to assume that you're probably a bit of a cock for doing it, or in this case [i]trying [/i]to do it. All pretty embarrassing!

Wolverinebass Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The shock value is pretty much gone from smashing instruments. After The Who and Hendrix is there anything else left in this regard? Er, no. What killed me about that video was that I didn't understand why he didn't swing the bass so that the string side went into the stage first. Surely that would have got the neck joint to break with one swing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
