When writing songs, 65% of the time the most important factor is words, the other 35% of the time it's lyrics.
When watching Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Michael Manring, etc. 75% of the audience "could do that, if they: had that much time to practice/weren't busy doing sessions/hadn't decided that they were all about the Groove/etc.:"
85% of bassists have a bass that's better than yours. Statistically, the odds are 50/50 that it cost under $200 and comes from China or cost over $10,000 and has extinct Siberian Mammoth ivory inlays on a 900 year old Ebony fingerboard painstakingly hand-finished by Tibetan Monks and a Narwhal tusk nut.

Sorry, but these are not made up
My upright has made me 75% of my total gig fees over my music career.
The U-bass is what I play 90% of the time on gigs since I got it 15 months ago. It has the potential to replace the upright and the electric 80% of the time. It cost 80% less than my upright and about 50-75% less than most of my electrics. the scale is 30% shorter than the electric and 54% shorter than the upright. It is 80% lighter than average electrics. It needs a preamp 99% of the time. I have 20% more gigs now because of it, and my preamp collection is now 400% bigger. 100% of other musicians I have gigged it with were skeptical when they first saw it. 98.5% of them really dig it now. The 1.5% that don't are each at least 115% older than me. 100% of the non U-bass diggers don't know when I switch to it from upright if they can't see me. I play 300% more at home and have 1000% more fun playing all basses with this in my arsenal. Its overall value is 10,000% of its cost.

And I'm 100% certain that I'm 10% sure that there is a 60% chance that 90% of my posts fall into this statistic......
