I thought it was Angus from AC/DC or possibly Slim Whitman.
The grammatically correct English term for a female rocker is "rockess". Ex "Ladies and gentlemen, rockesses and rockers, are you ready to rock?"
The guy I bought my active bass from said it runs on nine volt batteries.
When I got it home I realized there's no way nine batteries are gonna fit in this thing, besides where can I even buy a one volt battery, much less nine of the darn things! I'm taking it back, it's unusable!

You should be able to get Volt batteries from your local Chevy dealer. 2016 Volt: Hybrid Electric Cars | Chevrolet
Good point! I bet with nine of those things powering the bass it'll be a real screamer. I better buy a wider strap, this baby is gonna get heavy!
Speaking of heavy, there's a lot to be said about the proper pairing of an amp and cab. No one would dispute that an Ampeg SVT / Fridge rig has fantastic sound. But I'm finding that a lot of that magic is in the brand as well. For instance, I tried paring my SVT head with a KitchenAid fridge and got nothing. Yep, brand pairing must be important!
But the money printer doesn't work above the 5th fret!
Pots designed by guitarists can't be turned down. They can only be turned up.
As of 2016, all Miles Davis albums will be re-named to "Kilometer Davis".
All the bass on all albums by Yes, Cream, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Led Zeppelin was actually played by an uncredited session bassist named Oscar Spedding.
"The Cure" actually never had a disease in the first place. It was all made up.
