Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Ray Matthews]

The fretboard on a Fretless bass is definitely NOT just one big giant fret! And the action can be MUCH lower than on a fretted bass.

If your bass has an Ash body, you can make it significantly lighter in weight by following these easy steps:
1. Remove all hardware, pickups, neck and strings.
2. Place Ash body in a swamp.
3. Retrieve Ash body at next full moon.
4. Reassemble your bass with your new Swamp Ash body.
5. Enjoy.

The correct procedure is

1. Remove all hardware, pickups, neck and strings.
2. Place Ash body in a swamp.
3. Buy U-Bass

Sure, but the petrification process takes YEARS....

No, you just show it adverts for how much 1970s Fenders are now, and it will be petrified immediately.

 

[Count Bassie]

You went out on a limb for that one.

I always leaves 'em laughing.

Stick to misinformation!

You're just barking up the wrong tree....

The windings on bass strings are critical to your sound. Clockwise wound strings are best for rock and country, but anti-clockwise wound strings are better for jazz. For metal, winding direction is immaterial as long as the strings are the lightest gauge possible.

I'm leaving (get it??) this one alone...

When the other members of the band get quiet, you're supposed to play super loud. It's called "dynamics".

Coated strings won't get as cold as bare strings.

For outdoor gigs raincoated strings are available from Elixir.

That is the indication that it is time for your solo.

Spies play coded strings. It sounds like jazz, but it is really covers of 80s pop.
