Our guitarist, who is a professional guitar builder/repairer, had a full collection of high end guitars brought into his workshop that had all been trashed by an unhappy wife! She is an unhappy ex-wife now!

There have been many times that I have wanted to take my bass and smash it over the head of a singer. I wouldn't do it with a Rickenbacker, but I have a very heavy Jazz Bass that would do just fine. But,then again, why trash a perfectly good bass over the head of some a$%#hole singer!

He must be a really kind and nice guy, Peter... otherwise he might have been a widower...

Never hit people with Ricks! That's what those weighted bottoms on mic stands are for. Or use a Fender if you only have the 3 legged stands close by.

Funny stuff!

Ilan, is that the fractured bass on Jeff Rath's Hall of Shame?

About the 8th one down...

Why are people paying so much for severely damaged instruments. I am NOT hung up on cosmetics, but I would not pay over $300, if that, for either one of those.

Just me?

atlas mic staand bases weigh about 12lbs, better than a bass almost of any nature, and a 12lb iron frisbee can be thrown from a distance..hehe

That is an unofficial Rickenbacker Shampoo Applicator. I'll have to look up the part number....

Me thinks that discus tossing would be a more positive way of discussing situations without causing harm to what appears to be a formerly nice instrument!

Yes! that's the one! I had a feeling someone here kept the pics.
