I was pumping my E string and part of the nut flew off and hit me and then flew across the room.Where can i find a new nut for a four string hamer velocity2 ash? I tried to super glue it,that lasted 5 picks or so.Thanks for the help...

Take it to a guitar tech, they can make you a proper nut instead of jerry-rigging an off the shelf plastic pos that'll sooner break again.

One time at a show I was ripping the strings off of a 5 string non-reverse t-bird in an effort to make a crecendo of noise at the end of my band's set when I snapped my g string and it shot part of my nut at my guitarist. Then it hit him in the face.

OMG I get it now. Hah that's hilarious.

I'd hate it if my G string popped and my nut hit my guitarist in the face...

Bigduke, you're one tough son of a gun. I know I couldn't sit and write if part of my nut went flying across the room.

BWAAAAHAHAHA! I laughed so hard that I almost woke my daughter up when I read that same post.

LOL you busted a nut on your own face! someone busted a nut on their guitarist (which was probably a guy)! btw how could you not expect to bust a nut while "pumping" it

scottice · #13 12-19-2006, 11:07 PM

Oh god, I'm cryin' over here. LMAO

After fits of laughter for 10 minutes, I almost think this should be part of the "vasectomy" thread.

CWK · #15 12-20-2006, 01:38 PM

Well,I just about lost a nut laughing at the "Pumping my E string"
part.
Sorry but LOLERZ..

TNF · #16 12-20-2006, 07:14 PM

Sad thing is, it's a true story. Seeing as there were plenty of people that observed my guitarist getting nutted in the face, it took a while to live that one down.

Jared Lash · #17 12-20-2006, 07:27 PM

Just when I think I'm gaining a little maturity after 28 years on this planet, a thread like this comes along to prove how juvenile my sense of humor really is.

Good stuff . . .

Spector_Ray · #18 12-20-2006, 08:36 PM

LMFAO!!!!!

I'm not 36....I'm still in the 4th grade.

jbassbob · #19 12-20-2006, 08:49 PM

LOL. What the heck, here's to flying nuts! Good stuff.

BEST...THREAD.....EVER....

I needed a good laugh with the dreaded holidays upon us. Tears are streaming down my face as I am visualizing this. The only thing that could have been better is if it hit the lead vocalist instead of the guitarist!
