put a ding in the back of the bass deliberately.

I can’t tell you how much I absolutely love this.

First ding on my bass. Heartbroken. What was your first ding?

I just accept that the bass will inevitably get dinged. I’m not careless with it, but I also don’t waste any mental/emotional energy on worrying about it. It helps if I think of it as already being dinged. Stretch the time scale out long enough and it will be far worse off. It’s even better if it actually is already dinged, and I saved a boatload of money buying it as a brand new b-stock, or a used bass if I’m certain there’s nothing wrong with it other than aesthetics. My Corvette for example …
