Let's spread some musical misinformation

No-o-o-o, I'm from a different generation-on-on-on-on...
W-well that's c-c-c-comforting. Most researchers say they ain't seen n-nothin' yet..n-n-n-o they ain't seen n-nothin' yet....but..
Decades from now after exhaustive scientific research, it will be revealed that the only substance on the surface of a bass that can possibly affect tone is the nasty finger crud that builds up on fretboards. Everyone will be disgusted but also relieved to see the long and endless debate over nitro vs poly finishes finally end.
However, far from settling the issue, it will simply ignite an even more pointless debate on which body chemistry creates the best tone. The ensuing finger crud pH level tone debate will rage for another hundred years and be explored in such depth that everyone will get completely grossed out and never want to touch a fretboard with their bare hands again.

Best tone comes from a blood alcohol content of 0.1% or so. Whether that's in the player or the listener is also up to debate.
...that will in turn ignite the debate over which glove is best for metal.

I just checked with M M M MY Sharona. She said n n n no problem and she has a knack for these things.
You Ain't Seen N-n-n-n-n-othin' Yet
Roger Daltrey wrote the song to fulfill an obligation of the peace treaty int he WHo/Guess Who Wars, but when Burton Cummings didn't want to record it, he said--give it to Randy--and the rest is history...
David Crosby's favorite saying back in the day was "birds of feather flock together". From that saying, came three bands: The Byrds(Roger was not much of a reader/speller), The Feathers and The Flock.
After that, since he was 3 for 3, he stopped naming bands and just started using their last names, e.g., Crosby, Stills and Nash.
He figured out that no one remembers all the band members names of groups that are randomly named, no matter how cool the name. Well, except for a few...Beatles, Stones...you get the idea.

And of course Crosby, Stills and Nash refer to his short stint as a moonshiner working with Bing Crosby when they would pack the still up in his old Nash Rambler and head for the hills.
Steve Harris was only told that his guitar was actually a bass, after the first album was released.
The Korg Drums Tuner was short-lived. Most drummers thought they had to hit this tuner. As a result they massively claimed warranty.
