Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Atshen]

Orville Redenbacker invented what is now know as Rickenbacker.
He didn't use Redenbacker as he didn't want to create market confusion with his popcorn.

That's why his basses sound like popcorn!

If i buy a $3,000 bass i will sound as good as ( insert name here )

If I buy a 3000$ bass I will sound ten times better than with a 300$ bass.

Playing bass with a pick is like dressing an elephant in high heels so it will walk better....

I'm sorry but I've heard that one before... And it's NOT misinformation!

YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED!

The more drums the drummer mics the better the drummer plays. It lets him hear himself over the cacophonous din of the singers.

Playing a gig without first tuning your bass is called drop tuning.

Once you have played at least 6 shows with your rock band you are automatically guaranteed a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before YES, Duran Duran, Thin Lizzy and ELO.

Van Halen and Kiss were the same band.........anyone else remember this crazy ass rumour back in the late 70's?

When you go to an open jam, only the best players in the area will show up, and you'll be using the very best of gear.

A fretless bass allows you to play quarter and eighth notes.

Frets are actually speed bumps, and are required by federal law on all fretted basses.

Only on fretless basses the speed of sound can be broken.

A genuine Fender decal will upgrade your Squier or no-name Fender copy to genuine Fender status and then it's worth the same as any other Fender. It also gives you the right to go around saying it's a genuine Fender, and/or to allow people to assume that.

 

[MrBKerth]

You will definitely get a sale quicker and with higher offers if you last your squier as a Fender and then take one grainy picture that almost hides the squier logo.

 

[Jay2U]

In order to make the most of finger style playing, pick guards should be removed.

You are as good as you think you are..

 

[kcole4001]

Pickguards are just covers for the places where you store your picks.

 

[mrjim123]

Frets are actually speed bumps, and are required by federal law on all fretted basses.

They'll soon be required on fretless basses as well.

 

[Jay2U]

They'll soon be required on fretless basses as well.

We'll work around it by placing the frets facing down...

The more expensive your power cable, the better your amp will sound.....
