Accidentally or otherwise.
Mine is my EBow. I can't say how many times that poor thing has been knocked off of a table or my amp and hit the floor. It has a really smooth plastic surface that just waits for the slightest nudge so it can shoot off the edge of whatever it's on. I need to put duct tape around it just to keep the battery from flying out once a week. Amazingly enough it still works perfectly.
Years back it was my bass case- it would get MAJORLY dinged up. Since I started playing nicer basses, I've noticed that I'm far more careful with the cases/gig bags themselves, and they rarely ever get dinged. |

My old Ampeg cab road in the trunk to alot of gigs, and getting it in and out was a tight squeeze. The tolex had a ton of tears in it. I now have a cover for my Epifani cab, so it has a bit of protection. |
