Let's spread some musical misinformation

[-Asdfgh-]

Flea has his basses tested by gorillas before he buys them

Didn't Koko later replace Simonomnomnom in that band with Damon Albarn?

When buying a bass, Apes can assist you in your choice and prevent you from buying the wrong one.

They are experts on amps too.

Great apes know when you're mistaken, study finds

It says great apes, but in some music shops you struggle to find even adequate ones, although they are sufficient for use as a drummer.

The monolith in 2001 was actually an Ampeg 8x10. Aliens taught chimps bass, which spurred the evolution of opposable thumbs for slap bass. There then followed a great hominid schism due to a disagreement over bass solos.

You mean you've never had to endure listening to a bad band? Yes, you had to stomach that crap... Haggis has been there all along!

Turns out that Haggis has a very strong musical tradition, and mastering the genre takes guts. It entrails hours of practice in garages, firing many drummers, and carrots. LOTS and LOTS of carrots.There are at least 3 Haggis bands out there. That's officially 4 more than most keyboardists can stomach. A well-played Haggis concert will still bowel you over!

There is no merit in Haggis Rock. Look a the evidence for yourself.

Jimi Hendrix used auto tune on his vocals...

Haggis you see to eat are just young, succulent haggis (c.f. lamb) but the larger, older, tougher ones are made into bagpipes.

When a hardware autotune was tried on Shane McGowan's vocals it caught fire.

Lemmy's autotune exploded.

If you autotune a Haggis song you will get four more likes on Facebook.

No, I think he went on to costar in the popular duet "Simian and Garfunkel"

Autotune can be set to "manual"...with surprising results. The more expensive autotune machines have complete tonal fluctuation and can switch to any note on any scale plus any octave instantly regardless of the source note origin point.

Make sure you're on good terms with the sound man or engineer before giving them complete domain over your vocals.

No he went on to TV starring in Simian and Hutch

Or if you play fretless bass but need a fretted in tune sound for a couple of numbers autotune is ideal. Also great for viola players and trombonists. And by great I mean essential.

Autorhythm is available for bongo drummers.

Apes don't live in hutches, they live in apiaries.

Under new metric rules the scale length of basses it to be increased to 1m in Europe (about 39 inches), but in the UK they will be remain at 36 inches (1 yard) for domestic basses. The USA still uses smaller gallons, but until 1959 also used smaller inches and the original Fender bass was a USA yard, which is now 34 new metric inches.

It is more than changing the scale to 1 M. The chromatic scale is being changed; there will be 10 semitones in a pentave and all scales will be 5 tones with the spacing WWWWW (no more half steps). This also does away with sharps and flats and unified major and minor scales. Notes will no longer be lettered, instead, the French successfully lobbied to use un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq for the note names.

Blues scales will now just be un, deux, quatre, cinq. 12 bar blues will now be dix barre bleue, but will still be I IV V.

Geddy's switch from Rickenbacker to Fender had nothing to do with endorsement. Upon Geddy's request, Rickenbacker tried to upgrade his bass to make it sound like a Jazz, but simply failed.

Untrue! Geddy asked Wal to make him a bass that sounded like his Steinberger and they delivered a Jazz as a joke. In the spirit of keeping the joke going, he started playing the jazz.
