If you want a dent of some sort to deal with, throw the body from a high place.
You could also take a chisel and hammer to the pickup routes and deform it.

Baseball bat or maybe just taking it outside and throwing it as hard as you can. Also, my girlfriend said you should irritate your girlfriend and tell her to take it out on your bass!
Knowing some of the girls I've dated that could take the bass past the point of being playable ever again......:scowl: Maybe the op doesn't date crazies on a consist level like I do though.
I have dated crazies too. The hot ones always turn out to be crazy... some of the ugly ones were crazy too. I wouldnt let the girlfriend trash it. It would be unplayable after that.
I think I'm late for this... but why not wrecking it on-stage?? go pete-townsend on it... would have made for a good perfomance...
Awesome. Perhaps a woodchipper for some heavy damage? Randomly placed solder dots or maybe even hitting it with an oxy/acetylene torch? How about some hatchet-related stress relief?
I actually witnessed this happen when I was about 10 years old, I was visiting family. My cousin stuck a electric guitar in a storm drain so it wouldnt fall over or move, it was stuck, it wasnt going anywhere. Anyway he climbed in his truck and drove to the end of the street and gunned it 
, he hit that guitar and snapped it right in half! The neck went flying about 60 feet ! If you did this, this would definitly create a challenge for you but video tape it if you decide to attempt it

Since you're already committed (and the nails actually made me LOL at work), here's a few tips from this gentleman who seems to be a pro.

I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this. I'd have shorted out the keyboard.
It must not end here.

I wonder if you could go down to a cop on the street or into a police station, and ask them to shoot your bass for an "art project"...
