If you can't afford a good amp, you can use one of these with an acoustic bass.

And there is a fourth roadie in charge of keeping track of his brain. It is so small it keeps falling out of his ear.

The Djent Stick isn't a new instrument. In fact it's the mother of all modern stringed instruments.
The guy that invented the Djent Stick is Johnny Djent. He was a famous singer with a very particular singing style (Shirley Bassey is singing a tribute song to him in the video clip below). Eventually he decided to design a one string bass guitar that played on the theme of his singing fame.
Of course if you have a nervous tic you don't need a metronome.
Come to think of it, isn't a metronome the name for a small plaster garden statue in a city garden?
Err...no. A metronome is any resident of Nome, Alaska who often frequents the downtown area there...
In good old England it's spelled "Metro Gnome". They were believed to be evil creatures, living in gardens and parks of large metropoles. By night they came out of their hiding places, to pester people by tapping on their bedroom window panes. Hence the word metronome.
And the matching mug, of course.Glenn Fricker.
I love his Rule #2 shirt
Weird Al has recorded 25 albums of serious music that his record company wouldn't let him release (I'm sure he could have done that--the misinformation is that he HAS done it)
If you look closely you can see that Weird Al and Lawrence Welk are the same person...
This is your P Bass...

If you get the hiccups while playing bass, it will affect your pickups.
You'll get Hiccup Pickup.
If you're playing in 5/4 time, sometimes you can pull it off and no-one will notice.

The baddies in the film were originally going to be Glue Meanies, and McCartney wrote the song Stuck On You to go with that segment. Later Michael Jackson acquired the rights and gave it to Lionel Ritchie to finally record a version
With the change from blue to yellow for the submarine the Meanies could be renamed and the song, which Lennon hated, could be dropped.
Ritchie was also offered Frog Chorus as the B side to Stuck On You but declined.
Upright basses were not the first basses. Its predecessor was the upside down bass. It was believed the tone would propagate better if played in depicted position.
I'm pretty sure that's just an Australian bass.
