Show us your 'Schweaty Balls'

[freddy]

Music Man players take great pride in caring deeply for their instruments. Never-the-less, relationships do get strained from time to time.

I was thinking it would be cool to see photos of Music Man basses that have suffered through thick and thin, weathered the storm and came out stronger for it.

With due respect to the 'distressing' sub-industry (not to be discussed here), how about the categories: Honeymoon's Over, Tough Love and Domestic Dispute.

Ok guys let's see some blood, schweat and tears or, to quote the man in black, the mud, the blood and the beer!

Or as they say in the area where I grew up, "rode hard & put up wet".

My Sterling's got tons of mojo. Varnish cracks and other nicks but it doesn't show at all unless you take a closer look. I guess that's a good thing

My ray's neck has a whole lotta love on it, but I know you guys can come up with better than this.

Here is a severe case of Aldering that we received today.

This is actually a result of an angry girlfriend. I'm not kidding.

Ouch!!!! Wow, i couldn't stay with a girl if she did that to me! (seriously!)

Well, that can happen when you treat your instruments better than you treat your significant other.

ok, so the 'honeymoons over' on mathewsanchez,s SR4 and Dargin definitely has a 'domestic dispute' on his hands. Not bad for starters. Here's a 'tough love' player from the gallery for more inspiration:

Hey Scottie, that looks like it's just a finish crack. It should buff right out.

Is there any mojoed Bongo?

 

[iamcatwarrior]

Well, that was a nice JP. What a total bummer.

Another good reason not to date, if you ask me....

I don't know if you had noticed, but you've got a little chip in the headstock there

See he should have just let her go to Target and this all could have been avoided.

Ah yes, the old StingRo.

 

[DanGouge]

My Sterling fell off a stand in a way that should have dinged it... But it got barely a scuff. Frankly you have to be tough on these things to really mess them up.

 

[ronnyG]

90 SR4, well mojoed

 

[freddy]

I don't know what it is but there is something that feels just right about that SR4.

Thanks ronnyG!!

That bass just begs to be played, and after all, that's what it's all about.

Come on guys there must be lots more mojo out there!!

BUMP.

 

[Duarte]

does this count?

and this?

 

[oli@bass]

does this count?

I don't see no mojo, but you were lucky enought to get a 93 fretless with string mutes intact!
