You're thinking of Ring of Fire.

The pinnacle of any rock music career is to have a chamber orchestra arrangement of your greatest hit be used to advertise soap powder or toilet paper on TV.

The Sex Pistols were asked to reform and play on the top of Buckingham Palace (Jah Wobble replacing Sid Vicious), to play God Save the Queen for the 2012 Jubilee. John Lydon declined, though, as he was too busy filming butter commercials.

So you need extra output to cut through the mix? Tie knots in your strings, so they match the positions of the pickups. More vibrating metal disturbing the magnetic field, raises the output exponentially.

That is why Steve Harris uses the heaviest gauge strings available - highest possible output to keep up with 3 guitars.

You can also string nuts onto the strings. Metal nuts, not hazelnuts, obviously, as using hazelnuts would be silly. If you slap, wearing a metal gauntlet will also help.

Bake your bass at least twice a year and it'll stay in mint condition.

if you play a bass through a wah pedal you will hear the voice of James Earl Jones and/or Morgan Freeman and be able to speak like them for 48 hours.

Or if you prefer, sprinkle a few sprigs of rosemary on for it to remain in rosemary condition.

No more backyards,

About 20 revolutions around the sun ago, I worked with a Canadian engineer who complained about a 65mph speed limit sign outside Carlsbad NM, We drove too slow, I asked him him how fast the local highways were posted. He told me 100kph. So I told him most of the time we don't get ticketed until we exceed 70mph. . He said we still legally drive faster in Canada. Go figure.

Because 100>70. Units never matter. Ever.

Musically, all notes are created equally, except flats which are lesser and sharps which are greater.

CCR's Bad Moon Rising is about the effect of this.

That's bass a l'orange isn't it? Goes great with pan fried violas and blanched oboes.
