Let's spread some musical misinformation

Slap/pick/finger conversion pedal announced! It converts whatever style you play to whatever style you want to hear. In the near future you'll see Jazz bassists slap, Punk Rock bassists play finger style and Blues bassists play with a pick.

Hardcore Metal players will use a bow. This will drive the endless question - what bow is best for metal?

That's what a viola player thinks a bow looks like.

I heard they were having trouble implementing bowing for the doublers...

This is what is in a drummer's head if you talk about bowing.

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien never play original music, and never "put their own spin" on covers. That's because all evil in Tolkien originated with Melkor (who later became Morgoth, and was the manager of Real Mordor when they signed Luis Saurez) wanting to inject some of his own ideas and originality into music.

I'm not sure drummers can think of things quite that large. 737 at most.

I don't believe this. That's way past 1, 2, 3, 4.

This is more like it.

The Rickenbacker was invented by the legendary WWI American ace, Eddie Rickenbacker, who made his first bass guitar from a walnut tree split by lightning in his yard. The "Wonder Boy" bass soon evolved into the 4003, after the first 4002 Wonder Boy models failed to sell.

The Fokker bass failed to 'take off' due to the name sounding rude. The Zeppelin bass nearly killed Jimmy Hendrix.

The T-40 bass was named after the P-40 fighter. The T-51 was never produced but would have allowed you to play faster and for twice as long.

And the P-38 bass was the first double neck bass. The Japanese tried to build them but could not get the necks to align properly and christened them the "fork necked devil".

If your set is running long, just change all the 12 bar blues music to 11 bars and your set will be about 8% shorter.

Even though classical music is downright heavy (it is the heaviest form of music, just ask Yngwie),
one bar of blues is actually about 1.79 Troy Ounces heavier than any classical bar of music.
This exception to the classical rule is due to classical gas being much lighter than cobalt.

However, speaking of light...

Easy-listening music such as that provided by the likes of Kenny G weighs nothing. Furthermore, it contains no karots and thus has no nutritional value for the ear, your cochlea is always hungry for something of substance, but the more you hear of this mainstream that belongs in the toilet-drain, the emptier you feel and thus crave more ... That is why it is so voraciously consumed by the masses.

Everything Yngwie says is misinformation, including his own name. His real name is Johan Anderssen.

Not to speak about the Japanese Kamikaze Bass. Those were produced in the 40's. Sadly not a single bass survived.
