In my school, in a music lesson today, a bass guitar fell on my electric. A string broke, i didnt get too upset. I vent home as a completely happy person, got home, took the axxe out of the case, and noticed that some high frets have been dented by the hit of the strings. They are thin, and quite deep as well. Im very upset, and don't know wat to do. ive kinda cried as well. The dent are so deep, it makes it hard to bend some strings. What should i do? Am even scared to tell dad because hell tell me that i shoulsnt have put my guitar there. What should i do?

About the only thing can do is go for a refret at about 10 usd per fret.Tell your dad accidents happen 'nuff said>

Go to the bass player and tell HIM that HIS bass shouldn't of been there! Then find it and rip the strings out and bite the neck and body until it looks like a chewed pencil. If the owner resists hit him with it and tie him to a chair with the strings.

either that or get it refretted...

Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't realise...oh well...in that case burn the school down. (Don't worry man...I'm just kidding :D. I'm psycho like that)

But how is polishing the frets gonna get rid of the dents? Oh...and I take it your dad took the "bad news" okay. :)
