It Lyfts and separates! (I wonder if anybody is old enough to get that one?!)
There is a TalkBass thread on this subject; it's like fireworks between those who hate the combination and those who love it!
Or better yet, have it covered by 1001 strings and hear it on muzak. Their version of Smoke on the Water almost made Richie not come back from one of his astrall projection trips, he was so enraptured.
And singers allways make the best band leaders! Just ask them, they'll tell you.
John Mayer and Jojo Mayer are forming a super-group with Edgar Meyer.
They planned to call themselves The Towne Council, but weren't sure the press would get the pun or the spelling right.
Then they were going to call themselves "We Three Kings", but after finding out how much they all love Andy Partridge's song-writing they decided to only play one song, an XTC cover, but with lyrics (and title) changed slightly: "The Kings of Simpleton"

The bass was originally the primary instrument in a band doing both rhythm and Melody. Guitars just filled in empty space with some jangly chord sounds.
The a frustrated guitarist named George Orwell wrote a book called Animal Band and the phrase six strings good, four strings bad took hold. Then All string players are created equal but some are more equal than others. Guitarists drove the bass to the back out of insecurity.
A band called the Animals did a quiet protest by writing great bass lines. They were alleged to have been secretly funded by McCartney.
Orwell was supposed to have written a book predicting the return of bass to prominence in 1984 but a ghost writer named Les Paul rewrite the book burying the bass yet again.

Rush and Motörhead are perfect examples, proving this historical fact.
Since many manufacturers don't use rosewood anymore, most rosewood-oriented pedals got obsolete.
This is correct,one other thing though,this needs to be compressed under 4 Ampeg 8x10 refridgerators.
The best pressed petal rose"wood" fretless fingerboards are made from the Alberta Wild Rose...
MWAH!!
The darker the petals used to make the fingerboard, the darker the tone will be.
I find it's best to have a blend of light petals near the nut and darker petals at the body, so when you venture into "solo territory" it doesn't sound shrill or nasal and still maintains some bottom; conversely, playing around the nut doesn't get too boomy with the brighter petals.
Frankly, I find domestic hothouse roses make the fretless sound boring, hence my preference to get wild.

Likewise, most 'maple' fingerboards and necks are actually pine. Real maple gets syrup everywhere, though it sounds much sweeter.
A spruce acoustic top just means they cleaned the guitar/bass/piano before shipping it to you, 'sprucing' it up.
