Arrrgh! Woodworm

[Joel Larsson]

I may be wrong here, but I heard that you won't get any worm holes as long as you play the bass regularly, as even the nastiest of vermin wouldn't like living under conditions where the ground shakes under your feet. Is this true? Come to think of it, all the basses I've seen with worm holes have been resurrected wrecks or otherwise left unattended somewhere not too nice for too long.
