A new federal law that goes into effect in 2018 requires that all electric basses must be inspected and certified. Owners must send them to my home address, where they will be, uh, processed. Details to follow.

Glad I live in the Euro-zone. We only have restrictions for kazoo and bagpipes. Both are not allowed on the main land.
I sent mine yesterday. You should have it sometime this week or the week after that. Or the week after that. Or the week after that.
When Lynyrd Skynyrd began, they looked for sponsorships. Gibson provided them with a Thunderbird bass and Firebird guitar matched set as part of their deal, provided at least one song mention this.
Free Bird practically wrote itself afterwards.

the Hawaiian appeals court, has ruled shipping any bass whose strings were not boiled in a domestic beer would be quarantined for 6 months, prior to delivery.
This is the reason for tuning to A432. It's all to do with resonance and speaker excursion.
Little known fact: George Lucas was a very young member of the focus group. He liked this line so much, he was inspired to go into film making just so he could use it. All of the Star Wars trilogy was leading up to this big moment, but unfortunately for George, the actor playing Yoda fumbled his line.
The prequels were an elaborate set up for the correct line to be delivered at the climax of episode 9.
The option to have kazoos and bagpipes was one of the concessions that Mrs. Thatcher famously won from the EU in 1980s. There has been an EU kazoo mountain, though, to rival the wine lakes of old. Kazoo sounds good if you've had a wine lake, although it makes the bagpipes sound much worse the next day.
The bagpipes were actually not invented as a musical instrument, but by the Presbyterian church to discourage drunkenness on Saturday nights and encourage people to go to church, which was the only place bagpipes would not be playing on Sunday morning.
Nah, the 'force' stuff in that scene is a load of hocus pocus.
Those bagpipes caused many British people who didn't go to church to flee to the main land.
You can also tune to H O 442,this is all to do with cubic inches of your pups. Also involves the gear ratio of your tuners. While they can be hard to find,4 barrel bridges make this tuning much faster.
The UPS, FedEx, etc. guys are gonna HATE me. And I should point out that flat rates only apply to basses strung with flats.
The first Fuzz Pedal was found in a couch in Dallas while vacuuming.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer named it the Hoover Canister Deluxe and it was NOT a big seller.
They were supposed to develop an ENVELOPE FILLER. Due to misspelling FILLER , the scientists developed the envelope FILTER.
I heard that it's just simple tricks and nonsense.
Tuning to H2O is easier, instead of a 4 barrel bridge you just need the one barrel...
