Before you do anything,get some wall hangers and hide the stand for awhile.

Totly agree.
I would say that if you found your repair to effect the playability or tone then it may not have gone too well. Even bad breaks can be put back so they work well. You may have been unlucky.

the neck tension eventually pulled the repair apart. i was endorsed by gibson at the time so i just pulled the electronics and hardware and through it away. never did get another LP though and that was my favorite bass of all time.

Absolutely, These are the wall hangers I use to avoid scenarios like this.

Shame. Normally if the break goes back properly it won't let go. The glues used do make a difference but I guess you just hit unlucky. It's a repair I do a lot of and one I don't often see back in the shop. If I do it's because it breaks near not on the repair.
Nice bass by the way. Those we're cool guitars real shame you lost it that way.

Well you have to look on the bright side sometimes. The OP is probably still feeling shit about it. As a parent of kids that age I feel his pain.

Lets not over complicate the prognosis for the OP here. Let him get some pics up before we berate him too much and flame him for having medlin' kids.
No, no, I wasn't suggesting that they were similar breaks, I just remembered a really impressive repair of something that looked pretty hopeless to me.

Nothing a little wood glue and a new piece of veneer cant fix I bet.

I completely blame the adult in this case.
I feel sorry for him,but you shouldn't leave anything so valuable anywhere a kid can get his hands on it.
My kids are a little older,I'm looking forward to new problems.....

I kind of agree but we've all done dumb things.
I have people phone me in tears sometimes because their beloved guitar has suffered some damage. I often have to point out that to the best of my knowledge nobody ever died because their guitar got dinged.

here's my before/after repair shots for my sg clone -
they put a black paint fade to help distract away from the repair (but I can't really locate any evidence of it on the neck - just the side of the fretboard.
2.5 years later, still going strong and looks like the second picture.

yeah, you're fucked on that one. if you look at an intact LP, you will see a V-shaped glue line. if you get a clean break on that line the repair is relatively minor.
