If your soul cries when you play you need to try soul tissues or your playing will suffer.
A performance featuring electric instruments and synthesizers can be called "acoustic" or "unplugged" as long as the bassist and at least one guitarist is sitting down, and the drummer isn't too loud.
Vocalists, keyboard players and additional guitarists are allowed to stand. If you want to play bass standing up at an "acoustic" performance, you have to use a double bass.

I once had a double bass, but I lost one of them.
Well now there's an app for that! You asked for it now it is here, The makers of Snark clip tuners have just introduce a new app that works hand and hand with any of their snark products, what does it do you ask? Well the app downloads into your current snark product and it becomes are you sitting down?...... amp modeling wireless di pre-amp no longer do you need your di units Sans amp of VT bass di, and in addition as I mention it is a wireless so no more bulky wireless packs duct taped to your strap and any wires going to your amp, just your Snark clip on tuner! The apps is currently only available to the pro players market an hasn't yet been released to the general bass population, but the retail price for the app this reporter found was just $149.99 + a annual small service charge of $27.95 to keep it purring like a kitten. Stay to for updates and a product demo review coming soon. RTS signing off from NAMM 2016
IF you follow all the advice in this thread you will be the world's best musician--not just best bassist, but best musician--and fame & fortune will follow.
Ibaniz just signed this guy who wears a suit and plays metal on youtube with a wild 10 string. He goes by the handle: DGENT.
Drummers like Bonham, Baker, Moon, etc. instead of Ringo would've made the Beatles better
Wyman and Watts were just average players
"II" wasn't Zeppelin's best album
Terry Kath, Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine couldn't have been one of the BOAT Power Trio's
Real Bass players don't play short-scales or use picks

Except this isn't misinformation in my opinion--seriously--it's not their best album.
My favorite is Physical Graffiti--and RObert Plant agrees.
But that's opinions.
It would be misinformation if it isn't your actual opinion--which is possible...
The Beatles were so far ahead of their time that they even dedicated an album to Jack White before he was born! The White album went on with mixed reviews in a love it or hate it fashion, in much the same way as Jack White's career.
Hey--this is the misinformation thread!Fixed!
Good point - Along those lines, I would add that our opinions meaning anything to most people is misinformation in itself... including those of Robert Plant
4/4 is really 8/8, but it's called 4/4 so the guitards don't get confused.
Not a lot of people know this unless you have attended Berkeley School of music for bass, one of the last course studies before you graduate is Drummers get the girls, Bass players marry the girls and guitarist want to be the girls and with this knowledge you can enter the world as a professional bassist
Robert Plant's legal first name is actually Bob. He prefers Bobbie. Management wrote Robert on contracts and on albums as they thought it sounded better and thought that since they weren't going with James Page someone had to have a more mature sounding name. Bob always resented that it was he that had to live with this. His misgivings were well founded. In 1993 Bob Plant had to assert that Robert Plant was not his stage name but his actual legal name in court or lose full term claims on his copyrights that were up for renewal.
