Let's spread some musical misinformation

another new law to be introduced in 2023 is that ALL bands can only use a name or names that can be found in the Oxford Dictionary
and solo artists either have to do the same or use their proper birth name as their performing name

So, are you implying that band members know how to read?

The saxophone was originally a marital aid called the sexophone. It turned out its mellow sounds were better for persuading people into the bedroom than it being used in the bedroom. Due to 19th filters on rude words the name change was required when it moved over into the legitimate musical instrument space. It's all about tongue control, apparently.

New musical austerity measures are being introduced with the goal of getting musicians back to work. On 31 May this year, all sharps and flats will be eliminated. This is expected to get all musicians back to work.

This has actually been done on the advice of efficiency experts, who realised that manufacturers could save money by fitting fewer frets to a guitar or bass neck. However, if sharps and flats are reintroduced it will mean that you'll need a different bass for each key, which has led to speculation that the consultants who recommended the sharp/flat-free idea received kickbacks from those same manufacturers.

Actually short necked basses were introduced owing to the exorbitant costs of fret wire. A saving of several inches of wire on every bass resulted in the austerity measures that eventually created the fretless bass.

We need an economist here. What is better for society - short scale basses which save money on wood and metal so more people can afford basses, or long scale basses which result in more expenditure on chiropractors so advancing the medical profession?

Any good economist (musical economist or otherwise) will tell you that it depends.

There is an optimization to be done creating the perfect balance between short scale and long scale basses. This can be done by calculating the (cow) bell curve distribution.

... the (cow) bell curve distribution.

I thought the consensus round here was the that the further the cowbells are distributed, the better.

There has been a great misunderstanding in the musical community. Gibson headstocks do not break. In fact it is the rest of the instrument that breaks; the headstock remains intact.

The optimal number of cowbells is n+1.

Cow bells are ubiquitous in Switzerland. You will find a cowbell hidden in every record by Switzerland's only ever pop act, Yello, as it is required by law there. Just listen very carefully. Boohp boohp. Chickachick aaaah. Also with the albums you get a free toblerone and cuckoo clock. With the advent of CDs it became a very tiny toblerone, and with digital it is just a toblerone voucher.

Every bass with an over-sized headstock was designed in Canada. To support the Canadian forestry industry, all basses designed in Canada must have a headstock suitable for use as a canoe paddle.

If you play gentler metal you should ensure that the neck is made from Canadian soft rock maple.

Gibson Headstock? I love his music.
