I got there and began to set up and my Shergold begins to shriek loudly. The cable then blows out all my (original) electrics. The bass then falls apart.

That wasn't a dream, it was an insight into the future!!!!!

Hey that was mean! You probably play a Squier or something so you can't say anything!

I had a nightmare once where I was playing bass in a show choir and we were doing this really gay version of Funkytown, but I was cool with it because I had my 5-string and I was rockin' out on the low C and I was slappin' away. But then the director says "That's too low, can you take it up an octave or two? And that sound's a little harsh."

No wait, that really happened.

Once I had a dream that I have to play "You got another thing coming" and when I started to headbang and jump suddenly all the electronics are literally pulled out of the bass and the controll cavity is simply empty... that was scary as hell.

I had a good dream that I recieved a really nice Fender Bassman stack. I woke up looked over at my amp and it was just my Peavey Combo 115. I had no idea what had happened I went upstairs and asked my mom "Wheres my Bass amp?" She just looked at me like I was retarded or something.

My typical bass dreams are exercises in futility. A great act comes into town (say Tower of Power or EWF). Somehow I convince them that I should be allowed to sit in. They agree, and then I realize my bass is 2 miles away, and I have to walk to go get it. I am more than willing, since I usually have a REALLY good bass (like a 1961 PBass) to play. I go and get it, but it takes me about 6 hours to return (due to the involvement in other adventures which take my time while I am trying to get back to the gig of my life). When I finally return, TOP or EWF has already left, but someone tells me I can play with a church worship band instead.

I had one awful dream that I tried to sand out a very small dent on my 1978 PBass & ended up sanding away the entire neck. A body with a pile of sawdust, with an important gig coming up in an hour.

Sorry to hear that you guys have had to live real-life nightmares!

Not a bass nightmare, but last nigh I had a nightmare in which my cousin stepped on my violin and it cracked.
