Let's spread some musical misinformation

Bass playing made as easy as playing drums! Digitech announced their 'Learning Bass Pedal'. All the musician has to do, is upload the tab to the LBP, hook up a bass and strum the rhythm. No matter the tuning of the bass, no matter which fret or string, the output is always spot on.
A spokesman told that the USB port also accepts memory sticks with bass tabs in gp3, 4 and 5 formats, as well as prerecorded .wav and mp3 formats. Tuning and bpm can be tweaked through an interactive menu.

I so need one of these!

Hey, it's supposed to be misinformation!

If you wish your pedals to not affect the tuning of your bass no pedal should be greater than G alphabetically. Thus autowah, flanger, chorus, distortion, fuzz, etc. are fine, but overdrive is not. However bass overdrive is fine and pitch shift and octave will naturally change the tuning, being after G.

Unless you're playing jazz, which allows you to add pedals that begin with letters up to "M", or the 13th.

It is not possible to charge for a free jazz concert.

...but it is unfortunately all too common to overcharge for a jazz-free concert.

Colonel Saunders tried to become Elvis' manager--but Elvis didn't want to be covered in 11 herbs & spices, although later in life he regretted that decision...

Colonel Tom Parker was originally in a band in the army as WW2 started before rapidly rising through the ranks (cf. Glenn Miller) and this band was going to be immortalised by the Beatles as Sgt. Parker's Lonely Hearts Club Band but they were advised to use Pepper instead for legal reasons.

In Australia a curly instrument cable must curl in the opposite sense to those used in the Northern Hemisphere for it to be able to transmit signal.

Major Tom was David Bowie's math teacher.

Ground Control maintains they never ever heard of Major Tom.

I don't know if you recall when they found Col. Sanders chicken was flavored with only salt and pepper. On further investigation, it turns out the Colonel had smoked the herbs, but the at least the spices (salt and pepper) where still there.

"Beat It" was originally written by Quincy Jones as a short commercial jingle. When the US Beet Growers Association rejected it, he took it very personally and vowed to make it a number one hit.

All of Motorhead's songs contain the banjo.

That's right. Sometimes it is mixed pretty low, but it is still there. That's because despite sounding like an Englishman, Lemmy was actually born on the slopes of the Appalachians. His family had to move to the UK when he was very young due to a blood feud amongst mountain men over gambling. The Ace of Spades alludes to this.

Here's proof...

Given how the bass is strung the bassist must be Australian.

Also the other giveaway is that hat that Lemmy wears. It was his daddy's, before the McLintocks from West Virginia finally caught up with him on Tooting Broadway.

Lemmy also wrote the Blue Danube Waltz, before he was born.

Brad Pitt actually recorded all of Donna Summers material.
