Man beaten with bass guitar....

[ElMon]

Not to bring up this old chestnut, but I'm thinking that the PBass once again reigns supreme.

That thick quartersawn neck is a good gripping surface, and I'm thinking that the symmetrical body would make it easier to maintain a consistent swing, versus a more unwieldy, asymmetrical J-Bass

It'd probably still be in tune afterwards as well.

Hope for the victim's sake it wasn't a 90's Warwick, although that would be metal as #$%^.

If someone hit you with my P (it only weighs 6.6 pounds), It might hurt, but you'd probably still be conscious. If someone swings a Peavey T 40 at you, you probably have plenty of time between when they start groaning and when it actually gets to the vicinity of your head to duck.

 

[Aqualung60]

Flats or roundwounds?

Flatwound, the victim said he heard a "Thump" when he got hit.

 

[Relayer71]

That's low.

 

[AustinRanger101]

Now that's metal

Actually the "landing strip" is the so-called "soul patch" beard, otherwise known as the "man bun" of facial hair.

I thought the ‘man bun’ of facial hair, currently, was the Ned Flanders moustache...
Or the other one...

I was sure this was going to be that joke about being a first offender

First thing that came to my sick mind.

Someone once told me that Leo Fender invented the mass produced solid body guitar so that you could block the ashtray thrown at you, hit the guy who threw it over the head, and keep playing Louie, Louie without going out of tune.

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

Could be the victim was dissing in the perps bass. It’s been done for less.

 

[chazolson]

Keef shows us how it’s done.

i hope the attacker isn't a TalkBass member

 

[trofud]

Has to be a P bass. They are good at everything.

Has to be a P bass. They are good at everything.

True, but i d'prefer a L-Berger, perfect bat size.

 

[Pings Bass]

Man, I'm beaten by bass guitar every time I pick it up

 

[bassinplace]

Well, some folks don't hear the bass, but they feel it.

 

[Clark Dark]

I was able to find an artists rendering:

A witness overheard someone yell " Ole' "

 

[And I]

i smashed someone with an acoustic guitar in high school. an electric bass would have been FAR more effective.

This is why we advocate firing the drummer to avoid things getting this far out of hand.

Or zydeco music.

Somewhat Cajun style music that seems to be all about food.
