Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Gravedigger Dav]

There are many bass players with small hands. Some choose to play a short scale bass. Others want full scale, but have difficulty playing parts the require a 4 or 5 fret stretch.
Well, there is good news. There is now a surgical procedure that will correct that problem.
Just contact any orthopedic surgeon and tell him you need a hand job. He'll know what to do.

Fender strings are made from cast off British car wings.

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

Most funk is based on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but rap is based on London Bridge is Falling Down. Jazz is based on a cat walking across a keyboard.

...and blues is based on a hauling dog.

The first line in 12 bar blues is always repeated because the audience won't understand the song otherwise.

Half-rounds are designed to be played half-fast, perfect for the half-fast bass player.

The last song you ever hear will make the most sense of any song you've ever heard, unless you're in an elevator at the time. Always take the stairs.

This is a hauling dog:

This is a howling dog:

LOL! That happens if one isn't a native speaker.

No problem, my friend. I just couldn't pass that one up.
But, to see it in a positive light, this was your English lesson for today.
I see a lot of your posts and I wouldn't have known English is not your native language.

Well, ABC isn"t as easy as 123...

I'm from The Netherlands, so Dutch is my native language.
As a matter of fact a hauling dog fits the blues just as well.
Back to misinformation. My bass playing sucks, as well as my English.

Haulin Wolf used to be a roadie for BB King, hauling BB's gear.

Blues songs about dogs have been moderately successful. However, dogs have been hugely successful in rap. Jazz tends to be about birds. And cuddly kittens are best for metal.

A II-V-VI progression is the same as I-IV-V, only faster.

A breakthrough in the pick versus finger debate! Fender announced that P-Basses should exclusively be played with a pick, while the J-Bass has to be played finger style. If one fails to do so, warranty will be void.

 

[ZenG]

A bass can easily be modded to make it into a banjo. The bass-banjo can then be easily modded into a classical guitar which can then be modded into an electric guitar.
The electric can then be modded into a Fender Rascal shortscale bass clone.

Remember that if you get a gig on a passenger jet, everybody will be listening to you through
cheap headphones. So it's o.k. to make your setlist all KISS songs for that.

In first class, however, Motörheadphönes are available.

If you're doing Southern Rock, you have to have bloodhound in the band.
In fact, two members of Lynrd Skynrd are blood hounds, but they are shy and get dressed up like long haired hippies to hide their identity.

If you wanna play in Georgia, you gotta have a Fido in the band.
