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.

I've heard that the worms tend to prefer jazz to classical.
We call them 'borer' Down here (NZ) and I've seen their holes in basses. You can buy products that will get rid of them, but please don't spray the guys who like jazz.
