Let's spread some musical misinformation

All music is good and is worthy of an outlet and appreciation.

According to Fender Musical Instrument Corporation Customer Support, you can use a guitar cable for a speaker cable in a pinch.

Nimrods, it's supposed to say you can use a speaker cable for a guitar cable. No wonder everyone's always busting their b***s.

The dots on a bass fingerboard correspond to the black keys on a piano.

This why on expensive pianos the black keys are painted on.

Yes, and on inexpensive pianos, the black keys are genuine ebony.
It's sort of counterintuitive.

Leo Fender actually named the Precision Bass after his newborn grandniece, little Precision O'Hara.

The next big 'new' style of music, after Garage and House, is going to be Woodshed.

The style consists of playing the same short progression incorrectly until you get it right, then leaving it and going on to destroy another short sequence. Its popularity derives from the short attention span of modern Young People.

Before putting away your bass, be sure to turn the volume and tone knobs all the way down. This prevents the buildup of electricity in the output jack.

The build up of electricity is what causes the pop when you plug your bass in. If your bass is active it can be much worse and can result in you bring blown off your feet as in Back to the Future.

You're confusing Woodshed with Philip Glass.

That just goes to show that any new idea you have has already been done by some highbrow academic composer that nobody's heard of.

That was in honor of his automotive hero Mr. Benz naming Mercedes. Leo loved cars, hence all that chromed hardware and automotive paint. He'd have used Mercedes paint on his guitars had Hofner and Framus not already purchased it.

Just be glad he didn't prefer boats as Precisions would only have been available in navy blue and battleship grey and have a porthole.

Fender purchase all their hardware from Ikea.
If you look at the bridge you can see that it’s a corner bracket and the saddles are barrel nuts used on flat packs

And there's a .00001% chance of a matter-antimatter collision, which would NOT be good.

Good pyro show, though. But only drummers explode.

I lied - there would have been a grey blueburst option too.

It's tweed. It's a smoking jacket.

 

[NZBassman]
