Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Imaginary Pony]

So you would need at least 9 basses to play P&W for a Catholic Mass.

I used to play music in a catholic church back in the 80s. We had guitars, bass, and sometimes drums and keys. Not exactly the same, but we did some interesting stuff.

FYI if you ever weigh amps, a TUBE pound is heavier than a SS pound.

Holy Catholic Basses (HCBs) in matching colors can be accomplished by swapping pick guards on a natural wood finish.

Every big name, high-end, stringed instrument - twenty-two percent of the market - except on rare, to medium rare occasions, is expertly engineered to produce notes that can be organically sustained for upwards of twenty-two seconds.

However, after that, those notes will quickly decay. After three and a half days, rigor mortis will set in and, consequently, your playing will become unavoidably lifeless and much stiffer. After seven days, bloating and putrescence will ruin your action entirely, if you know what I mean.

To avoid this nightmare, be sure to change your strings on irregular basses.

Herbie Hancock is a Muppet.

Actually, Anthony Jackson is a Muppet.

A massless bass would be the best bass for metal...

That's a bassless assertion.

Maybe that is why we Catholics don't have P&W music (wish we did) ...

But you do have P&W music, I'm sure of it. I went to a friends RC Church service and I remember there was an organ and hymns.

If you ferment a whole rest, half rest and an 8th-rest long enough in the same bar, they become a fermata ...

Fanned frets can go in any direction and in any place--that's why they're detachable.

Right.

This is for alternate tunings.

Playing in alternate tunings is illegal in Nebraska.

Basses with piezo pickups cannot be used in a band with guitars with magnetic pickups. They'll always be in anti-phase, eliminating each other.

Hmmm, Good call.

However this could actually be useful for those pesky
"My guitard plays too damn loud" moments.

This is particularly intensified if the bass player and the guitarist are using pedals. The BRIGHT Blue Bass LEDs will always be in anti-phase with the red guitar LEDs, cancelling the guitarist's effects out (which tends to P.O. your guitarist). To prevent P'ing.O. your guitarist, you should place his pedalboard near a Miller Lite neon sign, as this double-cancels the cancelling. Don't bother with Schlitz neon-signs, though, they're only good for the keyboardist's green LEDs.

In addition, any pink neon sign doubles the beat of the drummer, provided he doesn't use any piezo technology.

...sames a locking nut on a guitar -- you move it around to where you like and then lock it down...

 

[bonz - darrell]

Locking tuners are great, and only used by guitards, because once you've locked down the tuner you never need to tune the guitar again.

Red basses are more expensive to insure.....unless youre over 40 and married, but you get a discount if you have actual music lessons under your belt.

How many lessons are required for discount? My red Aerodyne P is probably coming due for insurance...
If I paint it a different color will the DMB (Department of Moving Basses, similar to DMV the Department of Motor Vehicles) re-issue a regi for it so I can get cheaper insurance?

 

[SteveV74]

Getting to third bass in music means you go from fingerstyle to...........WOW, I am actually starting to think that was inappropriate!

 

[SteveV74]

Well it depends, is it a 5 string? Does it have active pickups? Preamp? All these things are considered.
