steviedee Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 My wee boy has just become really interested in my basses which fills me with equal measures of pride and horror. I turned my back for a second and he was cheerily shaking the life out of my Pre-eb Musicman while eyeing up my Wal with a look of enthusiastic destruction. Time for the cases?

[/quote] Child protection services will get you for this. Surface temperatures often exceed 40 degrees Celcius. Chain him hanging from the heat pump. Luvverly pic btw. Reminds me of those sad times I couldn't watch the kids ruin my expensive speakers, and sold them. (Please excuse any possible unintended, bad grammar induced lack of clarity.) Anyway, one kid case might come cheaper than two bass cases. Don't forget to take postage & handling costs into account. best, bert Edited June 12, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 In the event of owning multiple basses and not enough cases, it's sometimes cheaper to keep your kids in cases under the bed. Then you can get to your basses more easily, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I resorted to wall hangers. Little b*ggers can't get to them up there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Actually, on closer inspection one of those basses looks like a warwick so he's hardly going to make that look any worse than it already is, you go for it son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] . Don't leave the strap attached to the bass when you hang the bass. They may reach the strap (like mine did), luckily he didn't swing it hard enough for bass to come off the hanger.

[/quote] No, after mine destroyed 5 speakers they were quite understanding, destroying epos speakers is worthy of selling into slavery. I seem to remember a horror story on the old The Bottom Line newsgroup where one member described how he was trying to show his little one how one uses sandpaper to sand down wood, unfortunately said little one found dad's modulus and decided not get some sanding practice in! Sill makes me wince to think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngh Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 My mates wee lad decided to re design the body of a custom Jazz with a hammer. My mate went to the bog and left the lad and bass unattended, and while having a d*mp wondered what the banging noise from downstairs was, he soon found out. He was stoopid for leaving a hammer lying about as well mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
