No, I'm the only bassist in the world who doesn't like bass solos.

I'm the only bassist in the world who doesn't like bass solos, and so is my wife!

My ex loves bass solos.

Hence the "ex" in that statement.

Neon tape wounds are brighter than chromes.

Rotosound are working on some neon illuminated strings.

Flatwound strings were never meant to be. Because of a winding machine that was set up incorrectly, D'Addario produced a batch of bass strings wound so tightly, that the wire had gone flat. The rest is history.

Bass solos are easy to play well. Every bassist should put one in as part of their set.

The best bass solo ever started life as a drum solo. Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" was transcribed for fretless bass by Paul Simonon, who would play it during the "Sandinista" tour, so the rest of the band could go smoke a joint.
Being tee-total and anti- drugs, Simonon didn't indulge in dope smoking. Ever!!

They were trying to make pressure wounds, and use too much. The sound is exemplified by the bass part of the song that Queen and Bowie did about that day at D'Addario.

Albert Einstein wrote E=mc2 on an EB03 not a P bass.

That is a rumor originally started by Les Paul. Actually, he used a G&L SB-2T. The mathmatical symbology is obvious.

There actually is money above the 7th fret, but only between 14-16.

There is, in fact twice as much money in the notes at the 14th as 7th, but mostly if the same notes are played on guitar. This holds for guitar too, e.g. there's twice as much money on mandolin. If you listen to the end of Tubular Bells, up until the bells come in, Oldfield was having to pay himself progressively more with each overdue. Hence it ends with tubular bells and not piccolo, as he could afford to pay himself for that overdue.

the ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Blacksheep are all the same song.
Wait a minute... That one IS true...
