Let's spread some musical misinformation

Sure we do, we all understand that 90% of guitarists give the remaining 10% a bad name.
And if there are four band members and five groupies the lead guitarist will get 40% of the groupies, the rhythm guitarist will get 20% of the groupies, the drummer will get 20% of the groupies and the bass player will get zero groupies (the one remaining groupie will wait for the next band).
That's what half the bassists say the other two thirds understand perfectly.
Playing bass ensures a prosperous life and all your wishes come true
The chick magnet of most bass players is deep down inside a pickup and never comes out.
If you lose your place in a song, just play In-a-gadda-vida and nobody will notice.
The First Tort Pickguard
was created by Leo Fender. While walking to work one morning, titeass that he was, Leo saw a demolition crew working in a deli that had recently caught on fire. He spotted a section of red linoleum floor covering rolled up and leaning in a corner with a few smaller sections surrounding it. It looked like a giant slice of pepperoni. He had been thinking of a cheaper alternative for the anodized aluminum pickguards, and when he saw the pieces of flooring a light bulb went off. He took a couple of scraps to work and told the pickguard people to make a couple from his newly found material. One of the employees shouted, "What did you do, skin a tortoise?," and the rest is history.

Hand-sawn wood is much preferred for double basses. Electric tools induce vibrations into the wood that alter the molecular structure, making it less suitable for low frequencies.
