Be sure to buy the right shaving cream, because there are different foams for different pickup sensitivities.

If your bass is seafoam green no shaving products are required.

In the 1980s Maxell tapes were the choice for music during flights by SR71 Blackbird pilots

Probably only played on fast forward

I've been trying to master that technique and have become very proficient on the notes G, D, A and E. now all I need is a song that only utilizes those four notes.

you just need more strings.

And all the singers in the band sound like chipmunks.

Or The BeeGees.

Remember, it's the notes you don't play that make you sound good.

Since my amp fried, I'm fantastic!!!

This is called "Open Modality" and is a handy, though woefully unknown, way to "Cross-Key" your way through an unfamiliar song. It's especially useful for impromptu jams and small jazz ensemble auditions. In fact it's how Will Lee nailed his first studio recording gig.

I'll be indicted as a session punk bass player into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year.

Fixed that for you.

I thought the violists were there to make the bassists look good.

Violinist: Do you like carrying around an instrument big enough to be your coffin?
Bassist: Well, at least I didn't jab myself in the throat with a cello like that guy over there.
Violinist: Touche.

lol

 

[Jay2U]

Fixed that for you.

Most punks will have been indicted a few times during their career. Nothing to be excited about.

The full number of frets being five.

Actually the newest Squier bass only has three frets on the D, A and E strings. The logic is that you can easily bend each string to the next note, so four frets on the D, A, and E strings were found to be unnecessary and redundant (kinda like the end of this sentence).

 

[Common Tater]

you just need more strings.

Nah, you don't need more strings. Don't need frets either. I've been using those knobs on the end of the neck to get the notes I need. Why else would they be there?

 

[Count Bassie]

"...to get the notes I need."

Lol!

pklima is going to start a thread called " Let's Spread Some Musical Information"..

Leo Fender once crafted a bass called, "The Pre-CBS Quarter Tone Predilection bass". It's attributes need no explanation.

Technique is all about ears. Ears are all about fingers. Fingers are all about wrists. Wrists are all about elbows. Elbows are all about ligaments. Ligaments are all about tissue.
Tissue is all about Kleenex.

You put your Kleenex in
You take your Kleenex out
That’s what it’s all about

Gene Simmons was the only famous person to play a Gibson bass and Gibson owns Guitar Center (actually just read that in another thread)
