Members theFoot Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Right before a gig, I decided to change my snare batter head. I was seating it, so it was cranked up way tight, and just sitting there stretching. Of course, I dropped a screwdriver on it, and the head split from side to side with a nice short "pop" sound.

Members 1001gear Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 Just the spike? Isn't that thing a metal rod? BTW did the bassist say what he was replacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a second.. you snapped your spike while shagging a bass? And you got pictures of it? I don't think I could play after something like that. What did the doctor say?

Members JWL Posted November 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 Right you absolute moron- for a start it was a double bass. Or an upright bass if you like and secondly is was meant as a joke to piss off the bassist. But if youre goin to be such a wanker about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zon5string Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 "Spike" on double bass (aka Upright, doghouse, string bass, bass viol) is more accurately called the "endpin". It's the little retractable height-adjusting rod that sticks out the bottom. Sorry I got in late on this one. - Mark (also a bassist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
