Best Bass for Bar Fights?

[Obese Chess]

Another vote for a Peavey T-Series. Those things weigh like eighteen pounds.

Dudes! Chill out... this thread is clearly in jest. Just for FUN... I'll chime in. Think PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. You gonna try to argue your way out of a personal injury lawsuit if your bass LOOKS like a weapon? Good luck. +1 to the Gibson Victory suggestion. I've owned two that were HEAVY... neck and body both made of hard rock maple! Also had an Ovation Magnum that was a tank as well. Any of those you could just turn around on stage and knock out the front row of peeps and just play dumb.

I know this is the BG forum, but I once owned an Epiphone upright that got the neck snapped off in a barfight. So, cross that one off the list. (Pictured in my avatar)

It depends, is this a Metal bar? Because that would change my answer.

So, it sounds like you weren't in front of the crowd that expects you to play with a bow...more like the crowd that shoots at you with a bow!

LOL. Buy a Normandy Bass. Aluminum Bodied Basses. Built like TANKS. Jim Normandy is about the nicest guy you could ever meet, too. Builds AWESOME Instruments.

Well, if a 4 banger ABG worked for El Kabong...

Aria Pro II SB Series will stop small caliber bullets..

an old 80's aluminum neck Kramer ... !! it worked well , as far as I can remember stuff from the 80's .. !!?

+1 for the Kramer

 

[friendlybass]

+1 for mothman.

A heavy, solid bass that you don't mind ruining. Alas, I have none of those.

If I started doing gigs at biker bars again, I might invest in something like that - just in case!

one of your drummers tom-toms !!!!!

Gibson Thunderbird: neck dive is your friend. Take hands off bass, headstock dives to floor; gravity/momentum helps automatically get meat of bass up where you need it - you snag neck in one fluid motion - and the fellow you hit takes a neck dive.

I prefer ash bodied Fender Precisions, but I'm a traditionalist. Anything along that line with a
4 bolt neck, their less likely to shift when striking something. Trust me, I've had experience in this area.

I vote for Mapleglo's latest creation:

I'd have to say a Tele bass.
A Tele worked good for Keef.
