Let's spread some musical misinformation

but shouldn't that be E A D G B#? (asking for a friend)

Viola players aren't really your friend.

Well, Bon Jovi is Italian for "great pipes"

I thought it was derived from the Italian for good and Jovi from Jove or Jupiter and means "Good God!".

And that is why the correct way to play bass is "left-handed". "Right-handed" basses are sold at a discount as they are not authentic.

It's also important to ask for left-handed bass strings; stringing a left-handed bass with right-handed bass strings causes an inaudible yet significant disturbance in the Force.

Yes - I made the mistake of going to a hardware store once to get a new screwdriver.... but I bought a left handed one in error!

I hope you're not going to be the guy who holds up the customer service line. I've got to return this wrong sized bucket of steam before it cools off.

When asked how he tunes a fretless bass, Jaco would reply (I) D G A F

Sonic Youth thought he was being serious and tuned that way.

Those are devices for keeping your ghosts from being wonky, right?

i sent an apprentice to get a metric adjustable once. he went to my box and brought me my 8" craftsman adjustable, which has 200mm stamped on the other side. i rewarded him with a hot dog and a mountain dew for managing to pull off a seemingly impossible task.

Pint of 1/2 liter of Dew?

We'd sen the apprentices to the storeroom for a long weight. (of course, if you worked in telecommunications back in the day when dials were adjustable, that might have been reasonable)

Or are they the devices for evening out your drinking?

I forget.

But I've found that they are very useful for making sure your drummer is slightly angled so you only have to put the drool collector on one side of their mouth. Sure, you can eyeball the angle but if it's more than a couple of degrees the drummer will fall off their stool at some point during the gig. It also means you can angle them off to the side they will cause least damage such as the one with the wall.

While most people know that Leo Kottke is a great 12 string guitarist many aren't aware that he can also play 3 basses at once.
