Morbid bass thought?

[MEKer]

Loooonnngg time ago I was so enthralled by playing bass (still am) that I had the eccentric idea that when my time ends, I'd like to be cremated and my ashes stirred into a gloss lacquer and my main player gets a new paint job with that lacquer to hand down to my child if I were to have one. Well, had 3 kids and the idea revolted the wife and all the kids so had to backtrack and say I was just kidding about that story...but I was not....at the time I thought it.

Kind of like the guy who gets buried in his favorite sports car.
Would not do it now though.....maybe.

Yeah that's weird, dude.

I'm going to make a raft out of mine & have my Viking friend set fire to it from the beach.
<with my body on top, of course>

I've actually expressed to my wife and son a desire to be cremated and a portion of my ashes incorporated into a chambered bass body. They both gave me the "dad's going mental on us again" look...

 

[Atshen]

That's why people think bass players are weird...

 

[TyCobb]

I actually really like your idea. Except I want to actually enjoy it! Since my father wants to be cremated I think I just found a way to justify funeral expenses being a new bass for myself.

Thanks!

What would Keef do ?

 

[biguglyman]

I want to oscillate at bass frequencies...is that so wrong?

 

[twinjet]

I'll just get burnt up and planted into the ground with one of these.

Then in 100 years, I can be chopped down and made into everyone's basses. Oh yeah. Ultimate recycling.

Think the lacquer would be blotchy....

Sprinkle my ashes around the family pot bush and come harvest let everyone enjoy.

Twenty-five years ago I wanted my wife to have me cremated and have a small container hang in a chain around her neck so I could be close to... Well, you get the idea..... I sorta dropped that idea when I realized these days it have to be a reaaalllly long chain.

What would Keef do ?

I second the suggestion that the OP's kids should just do rails of daddy.

 

[Frank Tuesday]

My plan is to go to a body farm.

 

[The Mush]

Just cremate me and flush me down the toilet... What do I care, I'm already dead .. The worst has already happened

 

[JRA]

funny stuff!

 

[darkwasthenight]

I want my remains to be spread along Main Street at Disneyland. I also don't want cremation.

 

[darkwasthenight]

Some kind of woodchipper would be adequate.

I just lost it in front of about 15 people. Thanks for THAT!

I told the wife to put my dead butt on my motorcycle, pile all the guitars and basses around it and light them up. Maybe leave one plugged in to see how it sounds.

Who knows, she might actually do it.
