I understand that this thread is all in good fun, but if my band detuned my bass before a set I would quit right then and there, but AFTER playing as many songs as possible while horribly out of tune, just to make the band sound like crapola.

I would probably just kick the **** out of someone and leave

Either that or snip his strings.

Sorry dude, but that's got to be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

Here's why:
Who's the first person to get dirty looks when the guitar and bass are out of tune??? You're only pranking yourself

True dat;
an out of tune band is like broken fingers.. they just won't make pretty music.

I think how crap was censored is hilarious as well.

I've played with some pretty weird or bad guitar players . But the solution is simple I just quit . Or just to piss them off I out-shred them. No need to mess with their gear.

I have the opposite problem.I can't get my guitarist to turn his delay pedal off.

This is true. If someone's out of tune, it definitely can't be the infallible guitar player.

Look, I've actually done this. It works and can actually be quite funny when you have a swearing cursing guitarist wondering why he sounds bad. No-one blamed me either! To think I almost took up drums....

Out of tune guitars sound like the Rolling Stones to me.

The guitar player is my brother, GIT graduate, and kicks <deleted expletive>.
NO need to mess with him...just listen, play, and have fun.
Never had it so good...

The other kind?
Drag up and be done with it(QUIT).
