Let's spread some musical misinformation

Even worse: The wood stock (yes two words, no capital W :smug:) was also destroyed by this fire. :eek: No one knew exactly which wood to use and how to prepare it.

Wait, there was a fire at Woodstock? Oh, the tonality! Women and lead guitarists first!

Also, fact: the lower you can wear the bass on the strap, the better it will sound.

'Tonewood' is almost as good a band name as 'Seafoam'!

Larry, Moe & Curly Joe were Iggy Pop's original band.

Shemp, of course, was the bassist, which is why he's not in the pic of the band...

Signature models let anyone, regardless of skill, sound exactly like the artist in question.

In fact, depending on where in the manufacturing tree your bass is from, you need fewer things to make it work. For example, let's say Squier released a Groovy Peter Tork Affinity Bullet Jaguar Bass. It would need better pickups, strings, 'tonewood', ect. Meanwhile, the Fender American Pro (?) Groovy Peter Tork Jaguar Bass could play itself, even stripped to just the decal and plugged into a banana.
