Let's spread some musical misinformation

There is a new phenomenon taking place in large metropolitan cities.

So many bass players are out of work that when you pull up to a stoplight, a bass player with a cheap acoustic bass will run out to your car and do a ten-second slap solo for spare change..

...and he'll wipe your windscreen with his tears of sorrow.

I like to use triple sharps and flats when I tell my guitarist counter parts what key the song is in. "E Triple Flat"

Aldo Smith, a young savant metallurgist from South-west Northampton, forged in his basement a meteorologic wind-chime so precise and tuneful that, whenever there's even just a breath of wind, using wind power alone it accurately calculates and announces the wind's speed and direction in one-hundred and fifteen languages before launching into an authentic rendition of the most current Billboard Contemporary Adult Chart-buster. No one but Smith knows how it works.

Despite this amazing feat, his neighbors are not at all impressed and have taken him to court where he was charged with numerous breaches of the local noise violation act. Aldo Smith is currently rotting on remand and is not taking any calls. His extraordinary wind chimes have vanished into thin air, while his partner, though tight-lipped about the whole ordeal, is said unofficially to be quietly pleased and enjoying the relative peace and tranquility.

Didn't he use the alias Aldo Nova?

@Jay2U is actually an accomplished flugelhornist.

(Is that even a word?)

I'd ask but he's not taking any calls.

Looks very likely. And he's at it again, the fool. No wonder they put 'im away.

Do not play bass around pet parrots. They can easily mimic the sound as well as your playing style.

Then when you are practising they will throw in ghost notes, flats ,sharps and mess you up bigtime.

Lynyrd Skynyrds 'Free Bird' started off as a commercial for a pet store promotion.

And this bird you cannot exchange for any other animal.

TB never did sell and never will sell bass strings.

 

[ZenG]

I heard they're going to start making and selling TB combo amps..

Davey Jones from the Monkyees was an admittedly horrible lyrics writer. Here's a first take of the song Daydream Believer that thankfully ended up on the cutting room floor...

Peter Tork was able to salvage the song with the lyrics we hear today.

Record companies pay for videos and the bands don't have to pay them back.

If you plug a guitar into a bass amp - or a bass into a guitar amp - the amp will catch on fire.

Tuning a bass by ear is really difficult!
The fins and gills are easy to find, but where's the damn ears!?!
Good news is - at it's easy to spot all the bass scales!

If you play an instrumental it means you can't sing--every time it means that--always.
