seymourfluid Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’m the bass player for a certain nutter who thinks it’s a good idea to throw his guitar at the roadie at various points in the set. He’s very good at catching but finds it more difficult when said nutter is standing on the guitar lead when he makes the throw. Bad Roadie.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The result yet again is this. I was thinking of a cheap guitar made of metal. Any ideas?[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The legend that is John Otway or am I much mistaken? Wireless would get rid of the 'standing on the wire' problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 A flying V should give ample airtime, although a curly cord would be ... amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coilte Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 He obviously does not have to worry about the cost of repairs or replacement of instruments. It's a great position to be in. Most of us have to be more careful, as money is scarce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Time to go headless perhaps? And carbon fibre should be capable of handling the rough treatment.

Happy Jack Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Nope ... Status double-ended roundwounds. Despite the apparent soapbar at the neck that's actually a split-coil P under there. Terrific 18V pre-amp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, I considered taking shots of a bunch of moody-looking basses standing around an alley, probably with one of them wearing a tatty leather jacket and another one trying to look mean, then I thought about showing a bunch of basses jumping around on a floodlit stage while teenaged girls shrieked at them and wet themselves, and then I thought ... sod it! And I reached for the ironing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
