Let's spread some musical misinformation

The wave lengths of bass frequencies are much longer than the wave lengths of other frequencies. So, whereas a guitar solo may be 12-16 bars, a typical bass solo needs to be at least 32 bars to compensate for the difference in wave length.

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.

Remember to reverse this south of the equator. On the equator it doesn't matter, partly because it is too hot to play bass there.

Obvious photoshop job. Jaco played fretless.

I am the greatest bass player in the world. I taught Jaco but he wouldn’t listen. I sold Sting his vintage P. Birds dare not fly in front of my monstrous stack. My collection is housed in an abandoned Home Depot. I play a 12-string, and that’s just my practice bass. Phil Lesh called me to sub for him, but I turned him down.

If Jaco didn't listen, you weren't teaching. It is not the student's job to learn, it is the teacher's job to impart the knowledge.

Actually it really does.

That's because in medieval times, into the early Renaissance, pasta was used entirely for instruments - spaghetti and other grades of long pasta for strings, tortellini was originally for plectra. It was a while before they realised that this marvel from China was actually supposed to be food. Columbus was, of course, a keen guitarist, and was just trying to pop over to China for some cheap strings. The Chinese, having heard of this, sent a chef over to Italy to point out the error of the Italian ways (he later opened the first Chinese takeaway in Rome). It's not recorded who convinced the Italians that pizza was also food, and not sports equipment.

I thought it was like cubits, and parametric just meant you were measuring the length of something by laying paratroopers end to end. Much like rods, chains, and furlongs, you have the para, squad, platoon, company, etc. Of course it's difficult to calibrate your paratroopers.

Oh, yes, that's the military form of "bandwidth," which is the measurement of how much stage your group occupies. Horn bands typically have a larger bandwidth than trios.

Must be true, I heard that from the famous bass player Al Dente.

String manufacturers have procedures are in place to undo quantum entanglement of the particles strings consist of. Otherwise unused strings would age because of entangled sets being played.
