Let's spread some musical misinformation

If it's even more delay, it's UPS.
The Fender bridge was the result of a competition between Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender to make the worst possible bridge. Fender failed by making the least worst from an assemblage of screws, springs and bent bits of metal he had left over from assembling some IKEA furniture. We're lucky that Fender managed to perfect the Snötbass.
P.S. those 1990s plywood Squiers were made from unsold Poäng chairs. It's totally reasonable to use your guitarist's Squier Strat as a seat. They will thank you for it
All bass manufacturers leave a few screws loose when they assemble their instruments. This is deliberate, to allow the first owner to gain a sense of ownership in a new bass by tightening them.
In interviews to work for a bass manufacturer they are allowed to ask if you have any screws loose.
Sunburst was accidentally invented by Leo when he ran out of paint.
Leo was trying to mix up old dogends of paint to get enough to finish off a guitar.
The phone rang which distracted him and he forgot to shake the tin
You can't spray a sunburst finish at night....
It would be a moonburst.

In another universe, all of this misinformation you've been posting since post #1 is absolutely true, not that it really matters, or really anti-matters. - Clara Voyant, Thread Admin
Ms. Voyant, I'm confused. Was that musical misinformation or musical information?

Ms. Balls, I would classify it as a mismusical formation. I know, that's confusing; It's an emerging field of pseudo-science. More later. The gin has me confusing irrefutable evidence with drunken quackery.
