anybody have any good bass fml stories?
i'll start off

i was pumped for this gig, especially since the first song in the set had a big bass break. i walked up to center stage and started playing, with the volume turned down

the next bass break i messed up, at full volume

FMLs became a hit at my school. I think its an easy way to make you feel better about yourself.

I know it helped me!

I really only have one story. The night before a pretty important show, I decided I'd be a good neighbor and help a guy take the bumper off his truck. Rusty nut, no gloves, nut gave way and I sliced my index and middle finger on my right hand to the bone. No feeling in my fingertips for awhile.

I superglued it, taped it, played the show the next day with a mixture of pick, fingerstyle and pain.

Jack Daniel's helped.

Play safe with your 'ratchet' if your nuts are rusty, kids. Always wear protective gear.

Well, I had a jack problem and went on stage. This is how it went.

Break? Time to wank!

*Gets ready to take over-glorified wankfesting to a whole new level when suddenly...*

I was playing a bunch of nirvana covers for a middle school show in front of everyone. The time came for "Rape me". It wasn't well received by the school's staff.......
