Talk to Kim first. You can always do the internal fiberglass repair.
You and gravity haven't been getting along well lately, have you? |

Location: ranson,wva | mike, if i do the repair im gonna have to have someone with verry small forearms lay the glass inside because my forearms are huge and its down near the end pin. it was nothing except my own stupidiy that did it. i droped the damn thing when i was restringing it today and it hit the round cornor of my cab with the steel cornor guard.....maybe ill just fill the crack with resin then sand it smooth and paint it..hell maybe ill just sand the whole damn bowl smooth,tape it off then paint it gloss black and clear coat it.......im gonna call kim tomorow and get his opinion and advice. i dont wanna do a replecement because i will loose the sweet sounding top and fiberglass bowl.,...jason |

Location: Central Massachusetts | actually, the one that came down right on the endpin (4 of 5 on youtube) did crack the bowl. I think I took the bowl inside after that shot so you may not have seen it. Not sure where it ended up at the end of the night.

Location: closely held secret | The other one laded pretty square on the back and must have bounced a good 4 feet into the air. Not a crack in it. Later I stuffed it with 2x4's and the top exploded on impact.
I passed Budny on the way in and told him I needed to submit a warranty repair. Apparently the warranty didn't damage due to an "Act of Jeff". |

While unrecognizably disfigured after repeated hard landings, they do continue to serve humanity as salad and chip bowls. |
