Og's son, Gog and grandson, Log, carried on in his tradition Of inventions.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.
RIP
When Log died, his son Bog decided the people needed another Dino basher so, the Rikenwhacker was designed and added to the arsenal. A modern version can be seen in Old Garage-bander's Avatar, he's using one to play Whack-atar.Og's son, Gog and grandson, Log, carried on in his tradition Of inventions.
To make the Whonk more portable and effective, they came up with the Precision Whonk. Being easy to maneuver and having lines of spikes on it that were called frets allowed of hunters to work together and kill more mammoths. And live longer, of course.
As word spread to other tribes and lands, demand for the P Whonk soared.
Soon, however, small groups of hunters approached Gog and Log and requested a weapon that would swing better and more easily.
Log told his dad that he wanted the project to be able to prove his manhood. He didn't let his dad down.
Log came up with the Jazz Whonk, a weapon with better aerodynamics, a narrower handle and two ways to pick it up.
Soon Gog retired and Log took over. In honor of his dad he named the company G&L.
And the rest is history.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Lysol, and scrub pad, or a brillo pad and elbow grease.
I see, I'll be sure to get those things the next time I go shopping. A few questions though, where can I find this elbow grease? How much can I expect to spend for it? About how much should I get? A gallon perhaps? Or does it come in small containers like 3-in-1 oil? I don't recall ever seeing this product for sale before. Would 3 in 1 oil or silicone spray be a suitable substitute?
My friends really wants to keep practicing to play but with that brown note all over the frets it's really disgusting.
So, is Zebra out of favor these days?....![]()
elbow grease is found in 14 oz. Tubes. The tubes have kink in them. The angle of kink must exceed 45 degrees. Good luck finding an elbow grease gun. I got my last one when roebuck made tools.I see, I'll be sure to get those things the next time I go shopping. A few questions though, where can I find this elbow grease?

They also sell Sub-sub woofers that mount below the floor board and turn the interior cabin into a band-pass speaker box, thus multiplying the loudness of frequencies below 40 hz by 10 times.You can find it here, along with other hard to find items such as muffler bearings and flux capacitors:

I think I saw some homemade elbow grease on PBS's Lydias Italian cooking. It was made from virgin olive oil and corn starch?
