Let's spread some musical misinformation

IF I spend the money and buy everything EXACTLY like what my Bass Hero __________ _______________ uses, I'll sound exactly like him, I'll have THAT tone ! ! ! Yippppeeee ! ! ! !
That's a lie! None of that is misinformation, it's true, I tell ya! ;)
It is misinformation in limited circumstances. To sound like Billy Sheehan, you must also join the Church of Scientology and reach Operating Thetan level 3.
 
Active basses are just a scam by the 9V Battery Marketing Board to sell batteries. The batteries are just connected across a resistor to gradually drain them. They are actually passive basses and the preamps are dummy circuits promoted by the OpAmp Marketing Board to sell operational amplifiers that failed quality control. It's all part of the Stonecutters plot to sell more electronic components, the Stonecutters being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Illuminati.
And the Illuminati are owned by the Rand Corporation, which in turn is owned by XXXXXXXXXXXX REDACTED BY MODERATOR

When I was in the Alembic community, I once got to play a Stanley Clarke 'Brown Bass', the 30" four similar to his.

Despite this being very close to his axes, my 'School Days' still just wasn't all that.
