My Precious Guitar... Raped

Double X · 01-06-2009, 08:41 PM

I dented the bottom of my bass, and it gave out a more higher pitched, echoey tone which is awesome. It only cost 130 dollars so I am not crazy about maintain it in pristine condition.

I remember somewhere that this band had modded telecasters where they drilled holes and **** in them. I just can't do that with my guitars, maybe a squire though.

It was 100% accident sorry for not making that clear. The strap to the case gave out while I was carrying it. The dent is right next to the input jack (might be why my jack is having problems). It's diameter is a twice the size of a nickel's and it's a little less than half of an inch.

i figured it was an accident hehe, not many people dent their instruments purposefully. i wonder if the change in tone isn't due to the input jack problems you're having. might be a short in a connection that hasn't really split yet.
