Bass Rules (Don't touch that bass)

[Staccato]

When posting Rule #3 in another thread, I could not recall a thread with the basic rules that bassists should live by.

3. Never leave the cable connected to your active bass-when you catch a phone call, or when you set the bass aside.

Anybody got Rule #1, 2 or 26 handy? I've heard some funny rules in the past...

Can anyone think of things that could/should be rules around stage, stores, or handling of bass gear?
