Let's spread some musical misinformation

[-Asdfgh-]

Hey, it has to be at least marginally believable!

If U2 does this, we know Adam Clayton is on here. The world's best bassist he is too.

It is pronounced Lay-Paul. THE Paul in French.*

*Seriously though, il est vrai....when I was little I thought it was comme une Française, les Paul.

Ohm’s Law states that the bassist has to accomplish 432hz sustained to actually be a bassist. Or get a Tort pickguard.

Where is the belly button on a double has..?and shouldn't a double bass have 8 strings?

You could tune it mandolin style! G-G-D-D-A-A-E-E
String sellers would approve.

Nobody plays a double bass any more. With the invention of the drop tuner and the B string, the cool kids all play triple basses.

As a space-saving measure, they are also working on half basses, for small stages and vertically challenged bassists.

The actual work on vertically challenged bassists is going slow because they are short staffed.

Non-de-plume - he made pens as 'Gibson'? Did he stop because the nibs kept falling off?

On the positive side, the Gibson Thunderbird pen was developed for the NASA space program. Even in zero gravity, the nib always dived towards the writing desk.

A bass Theremin ... hhhmmm.

Hate to be pedantic, but shouldn't that be "A bass Theremin ... woooooh." ?

Never claim warranty if a Gibson headstock falls off, as they will sue you for abuse.

Tort pickguards were first adopted by Fender as a way of indicating that they were using the Law of Tort as a part of their lawsuit claim.

I thought it came from torte, a German cake. It referred to the way musicians were paid - a piece of cake and whatever vegetables were thrown at them.

I think that was too obscure.
OM's law states that a bassist must OM at 432hz to actually be a bassist. It's self medication OOPs self meditation.

 

[chadds]

Tort is "42."

 

[biguglyman]

Shocking as it may seem, violating ohm's law is a felony. Many have protested this only to find that resistance is currently futile.

Take it to the pun thread! This is misinformation.

Practicing in the dark increases the risk of stage-fright

Practicing on stage increases the risk of fear of the dark. So you just can't win.

 

[pklima]

Practicing prog rock decreases fear of the dork.

 

[chadds]

Bassist should only play the root notes of whatever the guitarist is playing.

But that’s true!

Every time a child says 'I don't believe in tort' there is a little tortoise somewhere that falls down dead.

And for every bass with a tort pickguard there's a tortoise asking, "what happened there?"

All the way down, tort. As far as the eye can see.*

For 40+ years now Iron Maiden have made a career utilising only the chords and keys of F&E.
