Let's spread some musical misinformation

[ZenG]

Picked up my bass, plugged it into the amp, played and enjoyed it for an hour and a half today with absolutely no problems of any kind.

Can somebody tell me what's wrong?

 

[growlypants]

Yea, that's never happened to me before. Better get all new equipment..!!

The drunken or high audience was missing.

J. Geils... Dead. Sad to say, it's true.

My blood runs cold at that news. When?

 

[Imaginary Pony]

Sea bass can only be used to accompany shanties and hornpipes.

Talking of fish for a moment, I never saw a land bass.

No, me too neither, but have you ever caught one of these babes?

Understanding river bass

Not being a game fisherman myself, I heard about these through a google search, looking for something we here are all familiar with, as the name of the magazine might explain.

I was going to suggest that the wife and kids were absent, but perhaps that is redundant?

Viola players were the last to get re-employed in the 1940s, and a young Leo Fender tried to help with the Precision Viola, until he moved on to the guitar and bass markets.

I would love a Precision viola. That is not misinformation.

I've just been to read his obituary. I don't know why, but this has left me feeling particularly sad. Emotions are funny things, aren't they?

I saw J Geils and Yes open for 10 Years After in November 1971 at the Forum in Los Angeles one of the best single night concerts I've ever been to.

Speaking of Ten Years After... In the late 50's they were a garage band that played way too loud. As ear protection wasn't common in those days, they suffered from buzzing and ringing ears after rehearsal. So they called their band Tinnitus After. Later, when they went for the big bucks, they were advised by their manager to change the band name to Ten Years After.

I know, I was there, hence my two hearing aids! (BTW, my tinnitus is louder than any conversation I ever hear, and that's no misinformation!)

That must be bloody dreadful. My wife suffers in one ear, thanks to an extremely loud scream our nephew managed to pour into her ear once when she was feeding him and had to put the bottle down for a couple of seconds to change position a bit.
I know that when it's bad it's physically painful for her, so I can imagine what you might go through.

It's called tinnitus becaus golditis, silveritis, copperitis and brassitis were all already recognized diseases. Not that anyone could hear the details over that annoying background ringing in their ears.

Yes - it was first identified in the Cornish tin miners.

 

[ReedyBass]

Tinnitus ringing frequency is always an odd harmonic of the open E string.

Tinnitus can't be treated. The effect, however, can be mitigated by tuning the ears to form a chord.

You have to align your head with the ley lines to get it just right.

If you fret about it, it'll go slightly sharp.

Auto-tune has been used to successfully modulate the tinnitus to match ambient sound. Noise cancelling headphones however cause the return of the tinnitus.
