You think that's bad, I played third 'bone in high school...
Just one. With at least 10 years experience, and no recent gig related accidents...
Shouldnt cost you too much as long as the strings are changed and tuned regularly, what type of music will you be playing on it?
Umm. Well. To be perfectly honest (hanging head in shame). I've played Mustang Sally recently with that bass...
Ooh sheep-dip, yeah, forgot about the dang pink neon and the drummer. GOoD Call Jay2U!
Don't forget to give props to your vocal list, straightens them right up! Not only that, but it beats having a vocal lithp. Vocal lithps make everything thound funny... kinda campy, even – ethpethally thongs with lotth of thybalenth. [No offense intended to lispers]
I get better insurance coverage with a few lessons under my strap. A belt voids my deductible due to a buckle-rash clause.
Whatever, I get more mileage out of walking than when I'm really driving the band; and it's so easy to GAS up nowadays, just logon to TB and fill up instantly...
Hmm... I getting dangerously close to the edge where I cross the center line from Misinformation to ... Let's not go there.

Motown was much more successful than Berry Gordy's earlier label focusing on country music, Botown.
He doesn't really want to talk about it, but his most successful and money making label specialized in music for "adult movies" - Hotown.
Basses for left handed players have mirrored pickups installed, to get them in phase with the other instruments.
It really doesn't matter what you sing a band as the patrons in the bar cancel out your vocals with their vocals.
Berry Gordy was to produce a radio show along the lines of the Howard Stern Show, but mainly interviewing musicians, with Bo Diddley hosting and Lady Bo co-hosting – it was to be called ...
"BO TALKS".
The main sponsor was to be a rival of Alergan, the maker of a famous anti-wrinkle formula. However, said sponsor, German company Merz Pharma, pulled out when it couldn't get the name of the show changed to Xeominutes (Pronounced as "Show Minutes"). Gordy supported the name-change, but he didn't know Diddley, who refused to rename the show and talks broke down between Gordy and both Bos – the atmosphere became completely toxic and left everyone frowning with neither side backing down and causing everyone to lose face.
