Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Jay2U]

...prompting a secondary spelling for the word "bass." It is now acceptable to spell it "bdsmass," with the "dsm" portion being silent.

You mean the B-ass, the one exclusively played with a whip, commonly pronounced like pick?

I think so. And it can only be played with the strings wound up tight to the point of breaking.

... tightly tuned leather and latex G strings.

 

[Pet Sounds]

This thread keeps getting funnier as it goes on. Oops. Sorry. That's not "musical."

 

[sonicblue62]

The original term for hip hop music was spelled with a silent "C" at the beginning. As the language evolved, the C was dropped and the term as we know it is "rap".

The Malekko B:Assmaster is made from recycled fishing lures.

I'd like to snag one.

Today is "Bass Anti-Bullying Day"..

Is your bass guitar a victim of bullying and domestic abuse?

It could be:-



Do you SLAP your bass? Do you adjust the tone to get more PUNCH? or KICK?......Do you give it more GROWL?....or try to get more THUMP?

Do you take it to play at a BASH?....and then find you HAMMER some notes when you play a HIT?...after having taken a BREAK?.......

Do you practise CHOPS on it? Do you take a STRAP to your bass?

Do you terrorize your bass to the point where it farts through the amp in fear?

Do you torture it by picking at it with your fingers?

You may be a bass-bully and not even know it.......

OMG! I'm... a... a...

Yes, I've even smacked her in public. What's even sicker, is NOBODY tried to stop me slapping the bejeabus out of her. Some... actually applauded.

Occasionally, I'll take a stick and beat on her (I like how whipping the horsehair makes her scream and moan, too). I grab her neck and choke it, really throttle it. Smack 'er about the body, knee her in the ribs...

I often shove her in a bag and keep her (s)trapped in there for hours. Sometimes she's shoved in a corner and ignored for days at a time – oh the mental abuse!

Yes, yes, ALL TRUE, I admit it. I'm a ...

... bass-bully.

It's a perverse universe we dwell in.

March 11 is the annual buy a bass and/or guitar for anybody named zontar on a forum you take part in.

If you go to the official website it will give you shipping instructions.
Or you can just send a giftcard to a local store.

 

[Khronic]

The Naimishbridge is being reintroduced.

 

[PilbaraBass]

Fred Hammon is opening up shop again, but this time he is only making 5-string versions of the Darkstar pickups.

 

[JohnDeereJack]

Michael Manring doesn't like anyone touching his man ring.

Good to know that this is just misinformation.

Michael Manring doesn't like anyone touching his man ring.

Not even Handy McKee?? (The H is silent)

The double bass is so named because it doubles as a personal watercraft in addition to a musical instrument.

 

[The Courier]

Did you know? The major scale is actually a completely unnecessary element of music theory. As we all know, only happy, up beat tunes can be crafted on this scale, and nobody wants to hear that ish no more. That is, except techno people, and the computer does all the music theory for them so they don't count.

Save yourself some time and don't learn this obsolete scale.

 

[Biggbass]

Phil McCartney, Paul's identical twin brother, has been substituting for Paul since 1968.

Which is never to be confused with the contrabass, which was both introduced and banned in the Baroque era due to its proclivity to produce the brown note during live performances. This heightened level of human excrement was also the catalyst for the Bubonic Plague outbreak. The contrabass is solely responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, thereby inspiring the term "killer tone."

The vast majority of techno, electro and house music all use the pantytonic scale.

So obviously this means that Paul is actually dead, and Phil is the walrus.

Singers will be sad if you tell them you're putting pitch correction on their vocals, so lie to them and say you're going to "reduce your vibrato a little to make the vocals less dramatic so they'll sit in the mix better". Then you can pitch-correct them to your heart's content.
