Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Bad azz tone]

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...

Of course, you cant use a 4 barrel bridge if you play a 5,6,or even an 8 string, you have to go to a injection bridge, especially nice with 8 cylinder pots.

I had a 4 barrel bridge, but it turned my bass into a real guzzler. I drank way too much beer when I played fast.

 

[GBassNorth]

Oh just great! I rearranged my pedal board a while back and stupidly left this...

Too close to this...

Now I have a bunch of these running around the studio...

Thought about tying the tubes on the muff pedal but it's SS. Guess I'm gonna have to snip the Pickle pedal instead.

You needed a bigger cable to reduce backpressure/ compression of the notes.

It is said that if you give an infinite number of monkeys a bass and let them play....one of them will eventually play the bassline to Yes's "Roundabout".

That sounds...plausible...

Thanks. Now I feel inferior to an unknown monkey. Oops, that was not misinformation!

One bass for a bunch of monkeys? I don't think the bass will last me the 10 minutes, yes the comment is misinformation. Let's say the comment is true, will the bass be in tune so the song is not so far out of key? Now got monkeys putting bassists out of work, as Marvin the robot from hhgttu says, this depressing.

The Peavey T40 and an older Max 115 should do it.

Monkeys can tune a bass no problem.

Peter Tork took bass lessons from that monkey, and that's where they came up with the name, I believe they are still paying the monkeys royalties for the name to this day.

Ibanez solved the neck dive problem. An insider told Bass Guitar Magazine they combine a conventional wooden bass with a headstock of their line of airbasses.

Didn't some guy called Ned already do that?

 

[Mr_Moo]

In most bands the position of bassist is normally assigned to the most talented guitar player.

Sure, that was how Jimmy Page joined the Yardbirds. Later they realized their mistake.

 

[GBassNorth]

Yes, in fact he did. Right after writing the tale of Sleepy Hollow. He also stared in the first Harry Potter movie as one of the ghosts, I believe his characters name was Nick.
He had a strange fixation.

The bass player always gets the most chicks by far when compared to the drummer, guitar player and singer...

mic drop.

 

[nitrobrother]

The bass player always gets the most chicks by far when compared to the drummer, guitar player and singer...combined.

mic drop.

There, fixed that for ya...

It was sort of already implied however now it is totally implied.

Sympathetic vibrations cause feedback, but if you use reverse entropy pickups, good vibrations will cancel them out.

Unsympathetic vibrations cause blue notes.

 

[Mr_Moo]

The correct way to play electric bass is to put the bass across your lap while seated, press notes required on the frets with your left fingers and hit the string with a xylophone mallet in your right hand.

To stabilize the bass you strap the body to your right thigh.

That is how Leo played bass when he built the first Precision.

Hang on. Are you saying I SHOULDN'T be doing that? That's double misinformation, right?

No misinformation there...
