Let's spread some musical misinformation
- Thread starter pklima
- Start date
One time, Steve Harris accidentally brought a bass loaded with live ammunition on stage. 3 audience members were shot.
And Undertensioning them will blow your speakers.Overtensioning strings by 200% breaks them in immediately. Overtensioning by 300% gives you the perfect Lemmy sound. Overtensioning by 500% breaks in your bass.
Now this is a guitar battle! A bass guitar battle, to be more specific.
The Walrus was simultaneously Paul, and not Paul. The Beatles had originally intended to publish a paper on Shrodinger's Walrus, but their producer felt that venturing into quantum mechanics would make the band uncool. John was angered by this, but Yoko advised him to let it be. Her words of wisdom inspired the band to abandon its collective interest in physics, and instead release Let It Be, three years later.
Playing the blues on an air bass is easier than playing it on an air guitar, because air slides are very rare.
Not to mention air drum kits. The price of a decent acoustic kit doubled, as cheap, China made electronic air drums are taking over.
I quit my punk air band, as they used my air bass to fill a flat tire.
No, the world's leading manufacturer of air drums is South Africa.
And that's not misinformation, as far as I know: http://aerodrums.com/aerodrums-product-page/

I have a one of a kind FrankenFender that was given to me by Jaco and you should buy it from me for $50,000.00 because you will TAKE MY WORD that Jaco gave it to me despite the fact that I have no actual proof.

Yea, go to guitar center, plug in, turn waaay up and get to slappin'...... Everyone there will love that....
Interesting that he's asking 50K, and/but his own ad states "As-Is-Cash-Value: 39.9k". And even if his story IS legit (which I have a hard time believing), wouldn't the fact that the seller freely admits to rebuilding/replacing about half of the bass in general cancel out any historical value it may have?
50k = The seller is completely deluded ...
And I agree that even if the story is true it's no longer the same bass.

This was the original Yoda, but given the reputation of bass players, George Lucas decided to omit the bass.
That must have been a stand-in for the photo only though. Yoda would have said "Teach him I can not. No patience the boy has."

That was another change George made, otherwise people might think Yoda is a Halloween celebrating American.That must have been a stand-in for the photo only though. Yoda would have said "Teach him I can not. No patience the boy has."
