How do you bond with your bass?

Well, that's certainly one way to do it, I guess... Personally? I'll stick to the "I really like playing this bass" method...

 

Bahaha, I didn't get it at first. I thought you were critiquing his fix.

 

Is it evil that when I saw the thread title that my first thought was, “super glue!”?

And lo, it was!

 

My finger hurts just looking at it, lol

 

No worries... It took me a little while, too...

 

I just take mine out for ice cream. No pain, all gain.

 

Yeah, what my ex wife said.

 

Kinda a personal question ...

 

We usually discuss our communication breakdowns then hug. Looks like that hurt real good.

 

YOW!

 

*thumbs up!*

Personally I prefer to use a staple gun, and if that doesn't cut it as nail gun!

 

Well, after I take it home I just let it sit for while and acclimatize. Then we go on a long walk on the beach and discuss our feelings and where this relationship might be going. We return home, I take of its strings, give it a good rubdown and proceed to noodle with it until I find stuff that bothers me. Then we have a few fights and we get discouraged and the relationship get strained. It's at this point where you decide whether you want to work on it or just give up and go your separate ways.

 

I did a similar thing to a stunning red Jazz Bass Plus that came for a complete setup and circuit board repair.

It had a really big and bad crack almost on the same place, it was half the size of a neckplate, and the wood on it was literally falling apart because the crack was quite old. I had to do something so I sanded out most of the area and I used several layers of titebond mixed with wood sawdust in order to have it solid and tight.

It worked really good and fortunely for me, the owner doesn't mind to have that thing unpainted hahahah.

In fact, from all the basses I've done setup and servicing, it was the one that made me felt in love the most! It played and sounded AMAZING.

 

Ouch!!!

 

A painful way of identifying your bass if it gets stolen...leave ya thumbprint on it loll

 

Relationships can be tough. Gotta be thick skinned.

 

Taking finger-style to a whole new level, ha.

I managed to glue something (can't recall what) to one of my fingers so perfectly that I had to wrap it all in a bandage and think about it awhile. It took me 24 hours of wetting and pulling to finally get it free. Thank goodness it wasn't trim on the car.

 

I take it for a walk.
