Let's spread some musical misinformation

Geezer Butler's father was a butler at her majesty's royal palace.

Correct and Terry got the name GEEZER, when friends would call him that to convince pub owners to serve the underage lad.

You need a special license for 6 string bass, I don't have one yet.

Fender made the first popular electric bass, and people have been improving on it ever since.

 

[ZenG]

They`d improve a lot faster if they could decide whether to use flats or rounds and whether they should use a pick or not....

Jaco needed four screwdrivers to take off his pickguard, because the first three he tried were the wrong size.

When he removed his pickguard, he discovered that some comic book fan had drawn a portrait of Dick Tracy on the underside.

There's a lot of myth surrounding Jaco's pre-show rituals – some of which involve chicken grease. It's all bunk. Nonetheless, even the greats need to calm their nerves...

Jaco needed only four screwdrivers.

Sometimes though, he'd have four Tequila Sunrises instead.

If a standup bass falls off it's support in a deserted forest and the strings are accidentally plucked by sapling branches on it's way down........does it really make any sound?

ONLY if strung with Cat Gut, and properly tuned.
Otherwise, silence.

To get the fabled "gold foil" pickup's sound without having to source vintage original Gold Foil pickups or spend $$$ on modern pricey boot-eek! reproductions...

Just wrap your pickups in aluminium/aluminum kitchen foil and you're 90% there.

Now you're cooking with GAS...

Everyone knows Ben Frankilin invented the electric bass!!

 

[ZenG]

I didn't know that ...I thought Paul Revere did....

I didn't know that ...I thought Paul Revere did....

WELL, I'm sorry but actually this guy did.

It was just one of his many inventions, taken back through time and entrusted to someone.

Thus altering the course of history.

"Are you sure about that?"​

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

No, that was inspired by Jim Morrison's grandfather who owned a chain of soul food joints in Georgia, and was known as the "gizzard king".

Sting's grandfather owned the largest home improvement warehouse in Leeds, and was known as the "king of paint".

Yes, Sting's grandfather was famous for the $5.00 gallon of paint. He expanded to Mexico where his chain was known as CincoPaint.

Right as rain,
this was the origins of CINCO de Mayo,
as the grand opening was on May 5.
In support of the $5.00 gallon.

 

[pklima]

Sting's grandfather hired a big band from New Orleans to play at that grand opening. That's when jazz became known as "cincopainted" music, a word which was later Anglicized to "syncopated".

 

[xgator4u]

But the Mexicans needing their own music,
and being both unable and uninterested in spelling,
adopted flamiCINCO guitar.

"Angel Of The Morning" was actually written by Queen Victoria, who wrote compositions on the Lyre . However her vocals were somewhat lacking and her singing was a carbon copy of Walter Brennan.

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" was also written by Queen Victoria. The original song was "The Man Who Slapped Sir Reginald Sheffield".

She also wrote "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" as she liked to strip down to her bloomers and take on the scully maids in secret mud-wrestling matches on the weekends in the basement of the castle.

 

[ZenG]

The first all-bass band was called Force5.

It consisted of five bass players who all played bass

Two melody basses, one bassline bass, one rhythm bass and one bass that was slapped and muted to produce a drum-like sound.

A novel idea at first but disbanded after only two shows when audience members complained they couldn't keep their dentures from rattling.
