The notion that Dada is a modern art movement is, of course, a common misconception: a re-invention if you like. In fact, Dada originated during 18th Egyptian dynasty which ironically also left us mummies.
I play a two string bass, both strings tuned to E... Just in case I break one!
Fender announced a product recall. It appears that a substantial number of basses left the factory without frets.
Spontaneous combustion is now a huge problem in the bassplaying world.
Gigging bass players are erupting into flames by the dozen every weekend...at venues everywhere.
Clubs are getting scared and insisting any band that plays on their premises must bring a minimum of three dry-chem extinguishers.
Researchers are at a loss to explain the phenomena.

I like opera, particularly Norwegian Black Opera and Death Opera. 80s Hair Opera had some moments, but the bulk of it was quite forgettable.
More and more bands are deciding to play for free. They regard making money from playing as 'selling out" to the "man".
Many players, when interviewed, say " Why not play for free? It's about the music afterall isn't it? What's money got to do with it?"
Venue owners say " We always observe that the bands are here just to have a good time and escape the financial pressures so common these days. They just want to forget about the almighty dollar and feel at peace with the world around them".

Would they go for banjovie?

Half of the duo Jan and Dean was Jan Banjovie, so anyone playing surf banjo would go for banjovie.
That's where the famous call "FIRE! The Drummer!" Comes from.
These amps will be waterproof, so you can plug them in when:
Early tests with the Mackerel Mallet keyboard amp indicate that it tends to be a little flat.
Headless basses were created by out of work Guillotine operators. They later took the lead guitarist's guitars and put them out of our misery.
The Fender Flounder amp has to be the flattest I have ever heard. No wonder it was discontinued.
A recent study by music economists at the Wharton school have shown that dancing bass players get paid twice as much. Twerking is a rare skill amongst bassists, so results were not statistically significant, but there was a trend showing that a twerking bass player could make 20 times that of a non-dancing bass player.
