45-50 seconds in the microwave will get you a blue bass, or as it is more commonly called, a “Blues Bass.” It needs to be microwaved longer to reach rare, medium rare and well-done! Pick your liking and start microwaving your bass!

If your bass is cold and you have steel strings, don't play any licks; your tongue will freeze to the strings.
Nobody really wants well done. Rare or medium-rare will give you bloody good tone.
There are many ways to deaden strings. Professionals like to use a baseball bat although, over the years, various poisons have been used to great effect. However, some of them may leave a sustain, if you're not careful.
You ain’t lying! Poor Rudy here had to have his bass surgically removed from his tongue while shooting this video outside in Winnipeg back in ‘86. Thankfully, the bass still has some tasty licks and is no worse for wear.
Gene Simmons suffered the same fate in Edmonton.
In Montreal, he tried simply ripping his tongue away.
And then there was the Germany "incident"...

in fact Gene Simmons tongue is so long he can lick his bass and Paul Stanleys guitar at the same time!
Fun fact: Paul Stanly could lick Gene's bass but won't (for obvious reasons)
What?! I thought nickel strings would cause cancer and reproductive harm. So what strings should we use then?

If the audience doesn't like your band, then get another audience.
Are you saying that Domino's customers aren't a great audience?
According the state of California, pretty much everything there causes cancer. Glad I don't live there anymore.What?! I thought nickel strings would cause cancer and reproductive harm. So what strings should we use then?
before the New World was discovered, bands only went on Half World Tours... The Rolling Stones were the first band to tour America and played something called Plimoth Rock...
...and at that time, Keef was already 214 years old.
