    No contest.
    I've had a broken toe and that was no fun.
    Basses are just tools of the trade. A ding or two, or ten wouldn't bother me one bit.

    Ding for sure. I have a lot more care and concern about my body than any material object.
    Remember, "I'd give my right arm to have XXX....." is just a saying not an instruction manual.

    I just put a nice big ding in the horn of my baritone sax - I'd trade a minor flesh wound to have that not have happened, but no, not a broken toe, they hurt like a MFer.

    Here's a question...would you trade your big toe for a new bass? Or a foot?

    I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotmy. :woot::hyper::drool:

  9. I'm selfish. I would rather you suffer a broken toe than my instrument get dinged.

    My most prized and pristine instrument already has a few dings. So... problem solved and I hadn’t even had to see a doctor about it.

    My numero uno is a factory relic with my least favorite finish, so... easy choice.

    A ding. I think most dings look pretty cool. They show that an instrument has been played.

    Trading your big toe for a foot seems slightly redundant...

    Ah, my bad. Didn't read entire thread and saw this question was already asked. Apologies!
