This is in recognition that 99% of basses never get used outside the home, and only used sitting down.
For an additional $50 they will leave off the G string as it never gets used. If you need a G strung you are either a stripper or a guitarist.

Leo Fender, known for not playing an instrument, was also tone deaf. Couldn't sing a melody in tune if his mother's life depended on it.
After apprenticing as a guitar maker because he was good in woodshop, he designed a bass with frets. He thought that if even he could play it precisely, anyone could. Thus, the Precision Bass and the myth of the non-singing bass player was borne.

Gratefulness towards singers is expressed by buying them a drink and giving it spontaneously.
Bassists seldomly get this appreciation.
But if you attempt to play Black Sabbath the amp will go dark and become a very expensive paper weight.
Orange Metal is a subgenre of Citrus Metal, which focuses less on music skill and more on visual ap-peel.
the Jamaican version is ugli metal, played with a calypso flavor, and supported by steel drums. Best played on orange amps, and through orange crates, you know the ones that have an Indian River Citrus label.
Cl fenders original Tele caster, was made from a pancho used to move black and white tv's. A British friend came by the shop, recognized some parts, and said "mate, what did you do wth me telecaster".
Yep. Blatantly obvious in the song "We Are The World".
As he said mate, he must have been from down under, but then it wouldn't have been misinformation.
The Ramones were actually supposed to be a Samba band--but nobody got it...
They even didn't get it themselves. It was Lemmy who finally told them, what kind of band they were.

To play bass in Canada you need a BAC (Bass Acquisition Certificate) and must have taken the Bass Safety Course.
You will also need a permit to transport your bass from your home to any other destination.
If you are 16 or under, you must be accompanied by a licensed adult while you play.
There is a $5000 fine for playing a Rush song out of season.
Cowboy Junkies songs are considered pests and may be played year 'round.
