Man beaten with bass guitar....

[Ductapeman]

I have to admit, I laughed out loud when Jack Reacher beat a guy down with a borrowed Precision Bass in the newest novel-- then the bassist says "You can't hurt it, I paid $55 for it in a pawn shop" or something--

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

Naw. An MM Stingray. They’re about 9.5 to 10 lbs. Now there’s more bang for your buck!

This just in from the newsroom: Akron police have ID'd the instrument. Since it was a Peavey T40, the charges have been uprated to Assault With a Deadly Weapon.

Was it a lefty azureglo Rickenbacker 4001?

At least none of the asian plagiarists, D.T. appreciates much.

I guess that bass came forward in the mix!

I googled devil strip.
So.
Much.
Porn.

You know you can enable “safe search” and avoid that....I google imaged it and got a bunch of pictures of a set Back sidewalk with a grass strip...

Waste of a good bass!! Should have used a guitar!

 

[Vette1976]

Of course you Americans would find a way to bastardize “Boulevard” into “devil strip.”

Sorry wrong thread, thought man was eaten by bass guitar))

Devil's strip is the grassy area between the side walk and street? In my home town we called that the "outlawn". Until today I've never encountered anyone from any other area who even had a name for it.

Who said that bass player couldn't swing!

knocking the thug into an 8x10

Sometimes you just have to SHOW the drummer where one is, in a way that can most easily be understood.

My first thought was that scene from Repo Man where they beat that boy silly.

 

[awakefie]

This WAS the weapon. Fear the Mothman.

In Southern California (where I used to live), that grass strip between the sidewalk and street is called the "parkway."

 

[TN WOODMAN]

On a more serious note-does anyone know the current whereabouts of the Mothman Bass? Or Moth Girl for that matter. Enquiring minds want to know.

I live in Akron, and I can verify that people do call it the devil strip. Before I moved here, if I had to call it anything, it would have been "curb lawn".

 

[Frankie Fender]

Growing up in Virginia we called it, "That strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street."
