Have you ever tripped with your bass?

[BassHappy]

Never really tripped with my bass but - once right after I got my driver's license, I was loading my amp in the trunk and leaned my Kalamazoo bass against the car.
I was late and in a hurry and long story short, I completely forgot about the bass and it slid down as I put the car in reverse and started backin up and I backed over it the with the left rear wheel of the car.

The case was totally demolished but miraculously, the bass didn't have a ding or a scratch and was still in tune.

At a gig. There was a taught mic cable right behind my legs (limited stage space) that i had forgotten about. Turned around to look at the drummer and boom! Almost fell over but i caught myself. Luckily nothing fell over. It was embarrassing since there wer about 30 people i knew in the audience...

During our gig, me and the guitarist will jump down into the crowd during the last song, I was tired and long story short, while jumping back up onto stage I lost my footing and slammed my shin and bass onto the stage. It completely detuned the bass and I sorta just had to go along with it for one last verse. Bass was fine though.

No, and I'm old.

Only done once, back when I used to gig; as folk I swear couldn't tell the difference between a table, the bar and the stage, so they'd put beer bottles and glasses in any hole they could find. I moved round to a position where I could see the drummer as the song we were doing had a (usually very improvised) drum and bass break in the middle and found a beer bottle on it's side with my foot, and I ended up falling backwards and smacking my the side of my head on the corner of the Trace 7210 that I had then. Bass was fine, apart from a smattering of blood over it, and the drummer kept on going with a solo whilst I found the duct tape.
