Let's spread some musical misinformation

Guitars & basses need different types of cables.

Exactly..:thumbsup::thumbsup:

You can't get t.v. stations on a guitar just using regular Co-ax. and you get better FM reception on a bass if you're using flats because the strings are thicker.

If you use optical cable as a bass instrument cable, you get fuzz/distortion in spades....

You can daisychain any amp to any amp if you use HDMI cable......but it only works once.....

Die Antvoord were broke so Yohlandi Visceral prostituted herself in the pop-music realm under a psuedonym, which you may know as Ladle GahGah, to pay for Die Antvoord's recording/video fees.

The black and white pic creeps me out.....I can't look at her without losing my entire train of conscious thought.....
 
[Misinformation OFF]
That's nothing! I saw a super-duper creepy photo of her all dressed in white with those contact lenses that black out the entire eye like a shark's... it was a colour pic, IIRC, but I couldn't find it again to post it here. I'm all for pushing the envelope, and I don't spook easily, but... It's like looking at a gruesome horrible accident — I'm repelled at the same time I'm pulled in...

Brrrr!!!

Little Known Fact
The Greatful Dead's "Live at the Fillmore" had a stand-in bass player they found from the local musician's union, because Phil Lesh refused to play the Fillmore, afraid that he and the venue's names would cancel each other out and both would be erased from the very fabric of time and space to become pure anti-matter.

Look closely and you'll see it is NOT Phil Lesh on bass, but rather Local Union 802 member "Spunky Crueckshank"; the Dead's manager was willing to take any Union member, so it was simply fortuitous that Spunky so closely resembled Lesh more than the other Union Local members.
 
It is extremely rare in nowadays to find a bassist with a fender p-bass because it is
a very old design.

Coupled with the fact that it's extremely rare to find an actual bassist these days.

Real bassists went extinct in the latter half of the 80's.....after a sub-species known as "slappers" evolved into the dominant genus..

The last real bassist was said to have been shot and killed by record producers in 1986....but now and then people claim they've seen one lurking at GC in L.A........

Footage was taken of one........but the image is blurry and shaky and can't be authenticated...
