Let's spread some musical misinformation

There is always the opportunity for 100% loss as well. Like the old proverb says - every silver lining has a dark cloud.

The longer a string set is on the bass, the more experienced they get. So don't replace them, unless they break.

The longer a string set is on the bass, the more experienced they get. So don't replace them, unless they break.

But you should keep a fresh set in the case. That way, the strings know that there are fresh replacements waiting in the wings and they will not be tempted to misbehave.

Plus, this fresh set will learn from the experienced set.

The posts above are examples of what is known in science as String Theory.

In fact, one experimental Beast Bass has been built, the 6-6-6 Fender Precision. D'addario produced one set of strings, D, G, C, F, A, D in three octaves. The set was called D'evil. The poor guy who tested that bass, accidentally hit the brown note. Several years later he was seen in the Himalayas, herding goats while playing a pan flute and fending off invisible ghosts.

He should have aimed for the golden brown note, as with that there is never a frown. Or the brown sugar note.

Fender will be bringing out a new beginner guitar with a 25 inch scale, but just four strings. A version for drummers aspiring to play guitar will be available with two strings, one for viola players with one, and one for lead guitarists with none.

If you ever have a chance to record a soundtrack for a movie or TV show--you don't have to try very hard--but play that thing your regular bandmates hate.

Glen Campbell's youth as a gang member led to a stint of hard labor in a rock quarry. That's how he became known as the "Limestone Cowboy".

The song "pass the dutchie" was originally a cowboy fireside sing "pass the jerky".

The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky" was about UFOs and aliens but the government didn't want them describing the trip, so they changed the lyrics to a different kinda trip.

Later on in life he polished up his act and became known as the Rhinestone Cowboy.

...well after his stint as a lineman for the county.

P.s That stretch down south did in fact stand the strain.

That's where line dancing comes from, isn't it

Everyone knows Area 51, but the far more dangerous base is Area 54. It was there that the Air Force moved live aliens after they crashed. One night in a party fueled by alien drugs, the aliens used mind control to create disco and convince the Air Force to release it into the general population through their secret base in NYC under the cover of a nightclub or "Studio".

Fortunately, humanity was saved when the British, via Torchwood, released an experimental musical weapon improved from the 1960's and called "The Second British Invasion" this averted the disco destruction of humanity but we must remain ever vigilant.

The song "Games without frontiers" was originally recorded for the TV series in Britain called "It's a knockout" during the period when Britain was still supporting its progressive rock industry by having a quota of TV themes sourced from progressive groups. Gabriel was grandfathered in due to having been in Genesis. Who can forget when the theme to the Magic Roundabout was changed to Roundabout by Yes, or the theme to the news to Tubular Bells in its entirety (which left no time for actual news).

Only Brian Eno is still on the approved list, all other prog acts now having been declared as dinosaurs and not yet uncool enough to be post-modern retro cool again. Hence on British TV every documentary over 30 minutes is required to include at least on Eno track.
