I was a bystander...
at this gig, but I later joined the band, albeit briefly, but that's another story...

Back when I was but 18 or 19, in a small town in Yorkshire, a good band could develop quite a following, and so it was with the local lads.
One Friday, we were all packed into a tiny dance floor in the tiny boozer, enthusiastically enjoying the sounds of teenage thrash metal.

Singer, and all other members of the band, were bouncing about like nobody's business, as were the crowd. And then it happened.
Singer's eyebrow made sudden, high-speed, full momentum contact with the tuning pegs on the bassists guitar (5-string, tuned to Low A, fact fans).

If you haven't seen a bass guitar recently, the tuning peg keys are at least the size of 50p pieces, if not bigger, and when head and guitar connect in such a way, much mess ensues. The crowd loved it...

Best part was, the singer finished the gig, despite ending up looking like the loser in a UFC fight, and still is the stuff of legend in that town as a result.

Apologies for rambling, I'm pissed.

Length? About 4ft from bridge to headstock...

Err...
No Baz, sorry.

Did I miss something good?
