Yesterday we had a bit of a jam at the drummers house, and then I went and bought a second hand bubinga warwick corvette....loooks beautiful, but thats a whole nother thread...anyway went to drop home and grab wax and other items to clean her up....leaving my guitarist having a shot on my fretless ibanez i also took...

On the way home i get a text message saying "we took your bass apart". Funny dudes, so i message back something about their mothers (as we always do in bands). Few mins later, get a picture message saying "we weren't kidding", with this pic attached....



Idiots actually did it! they even took the saddles off the bridge...luckily i saw the funny side of it!!

OK.. .so it's on... keep a small makita with various bits in your case and get em both back ASAP~ guitarists can be super protective about their guitars even when the instruments are crap... something tells me they won't see the humor when it's happened to them... and the poor drummer... chances are that even with written instructions he won't be able to figure out how to put it all back together!!

The coolest small thing you could do is to introduce a "buzz" in the line.

Nothing drive a guitar player nuts faster than having a ground issue somewhere in all of his/her stuff.

Nice! Loosen the drummer's kick pedal beater so it flies up into his nuts while he's playing!

That's pretty funny. I think they even kept the strings on the tuners.

You should take apart and put back together their instruments so you have your guitarists guitar body attached the the kick drum head and guitar nuts on his snare tuners so that they have a frankenstein's monster of a hybrid instrument.

Your drummer needs to discover exactly how many pieces his kit can be broken down to.

take the drummers drums apart, and then set them loosely back together so that when he hits them, they all fall apart around him. then, take your guitarists amp and set all the knobs exactly how he likes them, but make the actuall settings zero, and loosen the knobs so that when he turns them, they dont actually change the settings. dont do that alone though, to top it off, set his amp up so that all of the lights turn on, but the amp itself isnt actually on. this works best if you hook up batteries.

Or, take apart his guitar, and put bits and pieces in different drums!
ie, the Body in the floor tom, the neck in the bass drum, and pieces are hardware in a snare and other toms.
