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

In Texas we call it the place where everyone lets their dogs do their "business". And we don't walk there, because of that. LOL

Let's hope there is not a push to register all basses, or have a background check before you can own one...... LOL

Did this incident resulted affecting the instrument’s playability in any way?

I’m guessing Ibanez would be the best beat for your buck.

Just as a reminder...Akron, Ohio, Devo warned you first!

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

Where I grew up in New Mexico we didn't have grass OR sidewalks.

A classic quote by the great GC!

That reminds me of something else GC said. He asked why do we call a hot water heater by that name? Hot water doesn't need heating. Shouldn't we call it a cold water heater?

I grew up in Ohio and spent a lot of time around Akron. Even went to school there for awhile. Never heard the term "devil's strip". Everyone I know all over the state, including many in and around Akron, calls it a "treelawn", i.e., the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street. But then again, I'm not in the business of getting people to buy newspapers.

In Australia it’s called the “nature strip”.

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

Hah! be freaking careful out there!
I thought this was a post about how I can't seem to get used to playing (converting) to a 5 string bass!

 

[Yellow Bang66]

What is the devil strip?

Its normally referred to as the taint!

 

[BurtMacklinFBI]

That’s what you get for telling a bassist to mix 10” and 15” drivers.

That’s what you GET!

I wondered whether "devil" strip might derive from an English corruption of "de ville" which is French for "of the city/town". The logic being that the land belongs to the homeowner up to the footpath, but the strip of grass on the other side of the path belongs to the city. I'm not aware there was any French influence in early Akron though, so there's probably no historic substance to that argument... but I'm just really intrigued by the term.

A bass is an awkward unwieldy thing to swing. But he seems to have managed it with some kind of precision.

Well, if this isn’t a “Man Bites Dog” story...
