The first chip is the best event in the relationship between you and your bass- now there's no reason to baby it, and you can play it all you want without worrying. At least that's how I always am with new basses.
Did you get that feeling in the pit of your gut for a second like your world was coming to an end?
Sort of like the first scratch on your new car. Once that happens the new car smell is gone.
Weird, I too dinged my latest bass 5 mins out of the box. My elation at having a new, flawless bass was short lived. A year later, and there is still only that one ding.

I'm careful with my basses but still manage to bash them on something within minutes of owning them.
Now you can get on and enjoy playing it

Fair enough!
I'm totally the opposite - OCD levels about any new gear, which is just as bad, if not worse. perhaps I need therapy, but I could NEVER throw a new Sad on the floor and say to myself "Well, that's got that over with, now let's get on with playing it!"
I'd rather sprain my ankle or something - at least that's going to get better.

^^^^ This, I don't even count them as mine until they get a mark or ding.
I personally think it would be great to have (be able to afford) a new Ferrari, thunk a dent in a fender, then sand and primer that area. Just drive it like that. And maybe stop by the Home Depot, buy a few 2x4s and strap them to the roof.
Mike Nesmith of the Monkeys said on an interview show that he wanted to buy a Rolls Royce, put mag wheels on it, park it on the side of the freeway and just stand next to it watching the people.
