Let's spread some musical misinformation

[pklima]

Trying to play 70s funk with a "Jazz bass on steroids" tone shows ignorance of history, and just doesn't work. Everyone who truly understands 70s funk knows that you need a "Jazz bass on cocaine" tone.

That is correct. and the bestest way, although a little expensive, is with a tweaky rad azz modded, reliced SX bass.

I ain't sure if you know it, but this
is a Cubera "SNAPPER".
Think about that.
Look more closely at the mouth,
now tell me those lips ain't Monica.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast, so I know a snapper when I see her. That's what made it even funnier.

the earliest bass guitars had only one string. They put all the notes on that one string so it had to be really long, thats why uprights are still so long. also of note that the bassist scientific name is bigstringabus heavyaubs cabinettoatalotus.

Yup, the history of bass instruments has been all about the strings getting shorter.

By 2050, most basses will look like this.

Which is the natural course of progression, as peoples speakers, as well as brains get smaller.
This is a little known or admitted to fact.
All brought about by the increase in barometric pressure, through global warming.

You don't need to know theory, and that's a fact!

After all, it's only a theory. Like gravity, and evolution!

That's the bit about playing A minor pentatonic over a C major chord gives you Red Shift, right?

If you play a minor pentatonic over a major chord, you'll start to grow hair on your palms. Or go blind.

Barbarian basses didn't feature tuners. If the bass player played out of tune, he was simply killed and eaten.

The recorder is so named as it was an early recording device--but it was invented before there was any way to store the sound--so they added holes so someone could blow into it and make music instead.

Bass guitars are tuned 2 octave below a standard guitar, baritones are tuned 1 octave below the guitar. You can use this to create the mythical "triple octave" sound that some say can create a portal to another dimension. Some have tried this only to never be heard from again.

I actually used this in a sci fi story I tried to write once, then I found out basses are tuned 1 octave below a guitar.
