Let's spread some musical misinformation

Rickenbacker are going to build basses with one trussrod only. They'll leave one out, depending on whether it concerns a right- or left-handed bass.

Rickenbacker only used two to try to create a shortage to clamp down on the number for Fender. It's why Fender made his first guitars without any truss rods at all - he couldn't get them or make them out of bits of left over automotive parts, surplus surgical supplies or random bent pieces of metal. People think the scratch plates on Music Man basses looking like the hole in a toilet seat is an accident, but Leo scored a deal with a toilet seat manufacturer in Bakersfield in 1976...

There are two types of single coils;
  1. First type of single coil are wound by single individuals. The moment they find a partner they can only wind humbuckers.
  2. Second type are wound by a single individual from start to finish regardless of them being single or not
I know you think the two contradicts eachother but not everything makes sense, thats the magic mumbojumbo behind single coils.

I heard P-90s take 90 individuals to wind them.
