Man beaten with bass guitar....

No fair! I live in central Florida and we have grassy strips separating the sidewalk from the street everywhere and nobody calls it the devil strip. We call it "The Land The City Is Taking From You When They Decide To Expand Your Roads."

Devil strip? We call it a nature strip. God, we're so boring. That said, do we know what kind of bass? Hope it wasn't one of these:

 

[Leonid Nidis]

I bet its the result of an argument about whats better a P or a J.
Once the words one trick pony came out the guy lost it.

 

[Dreig]

Wasn't me.

I have a cousin that loves working the ER by the skid row dumpsite they call a hospital.
I should ask her if she's extracted a bass from anyone, or can recall any bass related violence.

Like the title says, a man apparently beat another man with an electric bass guitar and left him to crawl to the devil strip.

Well, meager information though: brand, model, 4-,5-, or 6-string, color, year built, bought from and plugged/unplugged would help to make things more clear.

I find 6-strings to have too wide of a neck for me to get the right grip for some pummelin', so I believe it was a four-, at most five-stringer. But more likely four.

No sweat, sound guys are dime a dozen

What is the devil strip?

Thought is was another work for taint.

Let's just hope it wasn't an 80's pointy bass.

I’m sure if we did a survey the majority would vote p bass. With flats. And tort. Of course.

Side note: In the latest Lee Child Jack Reacher novel a character gets beaten with an “old Fender Precision Bass. You can’t hurt those things. “ Cant say the same for the recipient of the beating.

And STILL everyone was too busy watching the lead guitarist to notice

etc

Anything like ‘landing strip’? Sounds like a great band name. This incident recalls the cover of “London Calling”.

"Landing strip" has a nice, avionics theme to it... good name...

 

[4001]

So what is the best bass for beatings?

A nice, mid-70's Fender I would guess... nothing like a boat anchor slapping you upside the back of the skull....

You don't join that bass club, it joins you. I wonder if they were drinking 'White Lightning', also known as 'Quite frightening' due to the deleterious effects on its imbibers. Who do experience the gamut of emotions while in flight, from utter despair to incandescent rage.

What is the devil strip?

You can probably infer that it's something similar to the sunset strip, the boardwalk, main street, local cultural district, etc

 

[rtslinger]

that guy should consider himself lucky he could have been hit with this

oh no he didn't!

 

[Allotabass1]

Funny.
A talkbass post that and from one thing to two things to absolutely nothing before the end of the first page.

I like regular coke. I was never a Pepsi fan.
Let's talk about that then switch to toe nails.

If it were a 5 string I’d be all over it.
