You know that look in a puppy's eyes when he's crapped on the carpet and didn't know he did something wrong but now does...
That's the look in my eyes now and the feeling in my brain.

If you make a nice Pbass with some tall frets and a slightly weird split coil pickup, it becomes instantly worth 500 dollars more than your previous model....
Eventually the H2O got so troubled, that it became Thicker than Water.
Many don't know that Roger Waters and Muddy Waters are twins.

What about a bridge over calm waters? Or a bridge over frozen waters? Regardless, you still need a bridge, right?
Dead notes are notes that were played over and over again, till they eventually died.
The 5 string bass originally had one partial fret, and was tuned in thirds, some major others minor with g b d f a. There was no fret under the a string. That way the bass player could all notes on the bass clef either open or by using one finger. The reviewer at the patent office rejected the design, because "Sometimes more is less"
1. The five string bass was invented, so bass players sheet music could be written with notes lower than a cello
2. Double bass music was written with two clefs, at the beginning of each staff, so the cello players could have their own music.
3. At one time, j. Edgar Hoover locked up the all upright bass players. Hoover was a cellist, and he got a tone deaf judge to sign the warrants based on a contra-conspiracy charge. The judge's wife had the warrants rescinded because she wanted to hear a double bass ensemble play "The Flight of the Bumblebee"

Unless you are left handed,then tone is in the thumbs!
Then I have great tone, being all thumbs!
Wait, this is supposed to be misinformation... sorry.
Baroque music, begun in the early 17th century and played initially only in continental bars frequented by pimps, painters, poppets and punks, was the very first manifestation of what the world would later come to know as 'pubroque' which then, through the passage of time, became present day 'pub rock'.

And by and large,
Rosie O'Donnel fits the bill.
I heard she's a heck of a slap player on the upright in a Psychobilly band.
