Let's spread some musical misinformation

In order to not get bored during of a SpaceX mission to Mars, Elon is developing a space bass.

Your only as good as the price of your instrument

The more expensive your instrument is, the more you'll be payed for gigging.

True! I get a pay rise every time I turn up!




Double nothing is still nothing..........

The Eagles were just a sucky country music band before Joe Walsh joined.... actually this may not be misinformation

Available in right hand only.

Before and after, I thought.

How will the multi-tentacled beasts of the planet Tharg play it, then? They only have seven left tentacles.

Recording engineers have a frequency band called the Bass Gutter (a play on bass guitar, get it?) where they try to slot the bass guitar. It consists of all the frequencies that the other instruments reject.

It spans only the frequencies on a bass below the fifth fret. If you play above the fifth fret on bass on a record you'll never be heard. If you play higher up, just tell the recording engineer you play baritone guitar.

Who needs a guitar? A six string bass on helium is the new trend.

Ian Anderson has a secret cylinder of helium to help him hit the high notes. It's why he sort of raises himself up to hit them - it's actually to ensure the line from the cylinder stored in his erm, secret location, is clear and unobstructed.

He's taking a band too, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, to be renamed Manfred Mann's Space Band after launch and then either Manfred Mann's Mars Band or The Mann-Musk Crater, depending on how things go.

That'll show them Martians what earthlings' music is about.

Either they will then avoid Earth, or invade and hunt down all musicians. It's hard to say which.

Paul McCartney was replaced in the Beatles with a look-alike in 1968 - because he was abducted by Aliens
his look alike, although a perfect match, could not actually play the bass or piano, so in the studio his parts were later overdubbed by Ringo Starr and George Martin as John and George refused to 'play bass'

that would explain my mediocrity

And the tech who cleans the mic afterwards is on a bonus.

I refuse to buy expensive instruments as I don't want people to feel bad about their skills.

If anyone wonders where the valve is, it's under the codpiece. Even more bonus £££ for the tech that has to set that.

Quincy Jones designed the system for Michael Jackson so he could keep his high voice as he got older. It's why Jackson used to grab himself around the crotch and say 'ow' - it's because expanding gas cools significantly. It's also why he wore a glove, so he could handle the valve without getting frostbite. By the time Ian Anderson needed it from the 1990s, the insulation technology had improved somewhat. However, he first tried it during the period he might still wear a kilt and sporran on stage, and the sporran was much easier to insulate for those early revisions of the technology.

Green Gartside of Scritti Politti only used it in the studio, and would just have the whole thing bathed in helium. It used to cause consternation for fans at live shows when they realised that his natural voice is actually a deep baritone.

How did he operate it without getting arrested? On second thoughts, don't tell me ...
