Hell, I'm not even sure WHERE this should be posted, so I figured that here was as good a place as any...
When I first saw this I laughed...then I got to thinking about it and I guess that it makes perfect sense: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protection-o...#ht_500wt_1043

| | | | I fail to see the humor? I worked in a auto manufacturing plant , and after the paint goes on the vehicle, if your job requires you to lean over it this is standard attire. Minus the nice logo of coarse. |

I mean geez. Now you gotta look like you have a fanny pack on, I mean can you look like more of a geek?
Personally its a bass , use it. If its gets its paint worn after 10 years a refin is 300$. People who are that anal about there bass must not sit on there furniture or drive there car. |

Yeah, I feel the same way. I just pull my shirt out and over my belt (when I actually WEAR a belt) but I thought, well, I guess this would get the job done as well, but it would kinda be weird looking like "George of the jungle" with his loin cloth and all............

People who are that anal about there bass must not sit on there furniture or drive there car. | I turn my buckle sideways and drape my shirt over - and that works... I disagree with the thought of letting my basses get buckle rash, though - a $300 refin??? - not likely for many basses... For example - what about an older bass, say a 35-50 year old Fender??? - some of us gig them, you know... How about a $2k+ nitro finished bass, or a Gibson or Ric??? How about my 2010 BFR SR5 HH - right now, it doesn't have a mark on it - I can still gig it, and as long as it stays that way, it'll still hold it's value for the most part - buckle rashed up??? - I'd probably take a several hundred $$$ hit if I decided to flip it...
Like everything, it depends on the situation...

It's just a red bandana stuck behind my belt and draped over the front. Works like a charm and only costs about a buck. Of course I rarely tuck my shirts in anymore, so it's kind of a moot point...

| | | | A shirt won't stop worming on the back of an instrument. If you don't care, that's fine. Don't bitch when you have to disclose the damage when you're selling the bass and have to cut the price.
