Let's spread some musical misinformation
- Thread starter pklima
- Start date
Beware, mojo does have a best before date! In contradiction to food, it is not printed on the package, so you'll have to find out yourself.
Mojo comes from the Mojave plant. They are only found in the Mojave Desert.
Mojave plant roots are worth $3000 dollars an ounce.
When the Ginseng season is over in Appalachia, "sangers" will often migrate to the Mojave Desert to supplement their income.
They've built huge underground caves and tunnels to live in while they are there. Which is why you rarely see them, because they pick at night.
Most of the Mojo picked by "sangers" is shipped offshore to Japan and Korea. Which is why many guitars and basses made in these countries sound so good.
The Mojo is fused into the components by an electronic process.
Any Mojo the 'sangers' can't sell is made into Moshine........a potent liquor that is a favorite in Nashville and sells well there because practitioners of Voodoo informed them that Mojo ingested in any form but notably alcohol will give the partaker musical powers and riches beyond belief.
However many country performers have doubted this because from their own personal experience whenever they drank Moshine in large quantities, their horse died and their baby done left them.

It has been proven that by Six Degrees Of Separation everyone here on Talkbass knows Carol Kaye.
You must be very careful with mojo. As mentioned, it has a shelf life. When it goes bad, it turns into Jojo. Do not take Mojo-turned-Jojo, or it will make a bad monkey out of you.
Getting strung out on too much Mojo can also lead to undesirable results with the Munchies...

At least in Minnesota, Mojo is quasi-legal and freely available. Just like Amsterdam has its "coffee shops", Minnesota has its "Donut Shops".

If left too long JoJo will turn into GoJo.......

If you speed up a vinyl 33 1/3 rpm edition of Magical Mystery Tour to 78rpm........it sounds really goofy......
No, no, no, no, no!Cooling the pickups gives you a super cool sound.
If you cool your pickups and patch cord, your sound will be tighter and more refined. The way this was explained to me (proviso, I'm not a physist and the math involved is confusing), but the electrical signal produced by the pickups has a tighter wave form and your ears perceive the tone produced as being crisper.
The effect will become more and more noticable the longer your patch cord is.
Ideally leaving your pickups and cord in the freezer over night will produce optimal results.
Interestingly enough, if you run through a wireless system, chilling your transmitter unit will make no difference. Cooling the receiver may give some improvement, but realistically the best answer for this scenario is to switch to a microwave unit. You can convert your digital wireless unit to microwave using parts from any microwave oven. If there is sufficient interest I may dig up the how-to diy instructions on how to do this.

But remember to remove flat wound strings - wouldn't want to remove the accumulated mojo (see notes above re: mojo).
Back to mojo. Mojo is almost guaranteed if you use a blessed mojo set. This set consists of a cap, pants, shirt, glasses, bass, amp, cab and cables. The set as a whole has to be blessed by a Tibetan lama. So if you ever change strings, you'll have to redo the blessing ceremony, to make sure the mojo is evenly spread across your gear. There are no shoes in the mojo set, as lamas detest the smell of shoes.
Disclaimer: Not all lamas can be trusted, some of them are trolls in disguise. A troll detector is highly recommended.

If you're running your pickups too hot, you can cool them with an aerosol can of Air-conditioning/Computer cleanser. Just squirt directly on the pickups a few shots and you should be good to go. It's a lot faster than removing the pickups and soaking them in nitrogen for hours, or cryogenically freezing them for months at a time. Okay, admittedly it's a temporary fix and depending on how hot your pickups are you might go through a few cans of cleanser. I only go through about 4-5 cans at rehearsals and about 8 on a gig; at home practicing I can get away with about 3 cans per day.
So, Darrellj, where are these plans for converting a wireless to microwave wireless? Do you need to wear a tinfoil hat (and underwear, if you want kids – I don't, besides tinfoil under the trousers tends to chafe).
