That is why it is legend. It beggars belief that he can sing with his feet. And what is he doing with his hands all that time? Playing drums?

Hey, I can sing with my feet too! - do re mi fa so la ti toe

Many bass players tune their bass EADG. Some tune BEAD. However, recently, Geddy Lee has said that once you turn 60, it is more comfortable to tune your basses AGED

The P-Bass is the only true bass. So frets beyond 20 must be a spare frets.

that is correct - if you have a 22/24 fret bass and one of your frets breaks then you can replace it with one of the frets past fret 20

l keep a spare fret in my gig bag pocket just in case l need an extra... it's a full sized fret too// none of those space saver frets for me ... those cheap frets are only good for 50 notes.... and only 40 notes if you only play metal...

5 string Bass players who own a dog tune their bass strings to B.I.N.G.O.

anyone know a good place to buy a good N string?

 

[LowRick]

The N-string, admittedly, is hard to find, but can be obtained in little obscure shops in medium sized towns around the world. The O-string however is a bit more elusive, simply because of the fact that, other than you might think from the shape, it isn't available in roundwound.

John Patitucci’s original Smith/Jackson 6-string weighed exactly 7.8lbs.

Music etiquette #72
When babies are born to bass players, the bass player should give out cigar box guitars..

 

[Jay2U]

Sustain of a bass can be simply adjusted by changing the length of the strap. The longer the strap, the longer the sustain.
Strapless instruments should be firmly squeezed between upper legs and moobs, for more sustain.

The whammy bar on a guitar needs to be cranked before the guitar can be played
