Let's spread some musical misinformation

[ZenG]

You can get the backwards guitar sound on Beatles records if you use upstrokes where you'd normally use downstrokes and vice versa.

I was told you could get it by simply reversing the inputs on a recorder so that you start at the end instead of the beginning.

You can't get a brown note on a Maple fretboard.

Clearly that's misinformation. By the way, any one have hints on how to get a brown note off a maple fretboard?

I'm asking for a friend.

The power chord, root and the fifth, was invented by the Bassist Tyrone Power, when he played a D and an A, by double stopping on the 12th and 14 frets, on a fretless upright. His bow also needed more rosin

You might PM Harold Melvin, of Harold Melvin & The Brown Notes. Or was it Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes? I can't remember, but the principle is probably the same. He's been dead for decades but if his memory is good he still might be able to help. He can usually be found jamming with Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding or Tiny Tim.

Woodstock had the best tone for live performances.

True that!, it was the first time they used Hi-Def microphones The Shure HD58 and HD57 were introduced at Woodstock.

If you build an IbbyHofChickenFenderbacker with double Gibson pickups out of spare parts, everyone here will admire your work and you'll get hundreds of 'likes'.

They were going to build all the stages out of cement but Santana figured the acoustics would suck on 'Soul Sacrifice'..

Carlos also suggested they ground the electrical service. Seems no one thought of it, shocking!

Is this a concrete fact?

FERAL FELINE LABS PRESS RELEASE
17 / 10 / 2017

Nanotechnology has finally enabled the production of strings that are both Flat and Round. No longer do you need to string two basses with different strings nor change strings etc.

With one bass and the Feral Feline Flaunderstrings™®, you can go from flatwound to roundwound with the flip of a switch (and vicey-versy).

To explain in lay-person's terms, the switch is connected to a micro-currant that runs through the strings. When a negative charge is passed through the strings they revert to their natural-flat shape; but flip the switch to a positive charge and the strings change on a molecular level — like how a muscle flexes.
This current is set to a special subharmonic frequency that will not affect the bass's electronics' audible signal, but like any wave, the current can be adjusted to give the "roundwound" string a specific peak-to-peak distance for some subtle tonality changes by making a fatter roundwound.

To protect the intellectual property, no photos of the strings are available at this time. However...!

Once government approval is met, Feral Feline Labs will make the strings available to the public. Just need to overcome one last hurdle: when current is NOT applied to the strings they implode creating a small black hole in the fabric of space and time. Kind of like how Super-Dark Nano-Black or VantaBlack suck up visible light, except instead of sucking in just light-rays, these black holes suck in all manner of energy and matter.

Due to unexpected power outages and batteries running dry, FFL has exhausted its supply of test basses and beta testers.
To this end, FFL needs more basses and volunteers for further testing, and this final hurdle will surely soon be licked like a hit single.
PM me should you wish to volunteer your bass, yourself or ideally both ...

I find micro-currants a little sweet. Can I have mine modified to run on micro-raisins? If not, please state the raison.

British invasion? American invasion? The Chinese are the only real invaders.

Correction, these guys are the only real Invaders.

From Archeology Weakly:
The first bass instrument, the Whonk' was invented Nov 3rd, 17,892 b.p.e. by a neolithic hunter named Og. The duel purpose instrument was intended to be used first as a mammoth call, a task it was incredibly successful at, calling mammoths from several miles away. The second purpose was to stun said mammoths, at which it was slightly less successful.

Og
Mar 1, 17872 b.p.e - Nov. 3, 17, 892 b.p.e.

Microchips are what's left in the bag after my boys get their hands on it. Not sure what any of this has to to do with concrete information though. Maybe we should cement our facts before we succumb to a retort. I think I will tuck in until we get back on point.

...and it'll be worth thousands of $, as Gibson pickups won't be available anymore pretty soon.
