TalkBass Q&A Game

OK gang, I want to do a Q&A - no video ;).

Here's how it works.
1) Question is asked.
2) Reply to question.
3) Post new question.
4) Repeat 2 & 3 ad nauseum.

A few rules:
1) Adhere to the TalkBass Rules section. No question or answer provided should give reason for thread lock or profile bannings.
2) You can't answer your own question...
3) No troll questions or answers. Having fun is part of the game, but let's avoid recycling the same boring jokes and memes. We all know the answer to the "best bass for metal" question. :spam:

Suggested topics:
Music/Pop Culture
Science
Art and Culture
Social studies
History


Have fun!

Question 1:
What propelled Pink Floyd to fame?

Answer: The phrase, " When pigs fly."

Question: If Darwin was adopted, would you still believe in the theory of evolution?
 
When I'm playing a Jazz bass my main bass is a Squier Affinity Jazz 5 and my backup is a Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5 (I do it to piss off the gear snobs).

Monster or Fender or Planet Waves or other instrument cable, what's your preference?
I have never had problems with PW cables. In fact, I am due for a replacement as I may have accidentally shipped my spare to a guy in Indiana who bought my old bass...

45° or straight jack?
 
Straight in, front mounted Jack. Hate side jacks, PITB when sitting down. Strat Jack is ok but just doesn't look right on some basses. Billy Sheehan dual 45 degree looks really weird.

Didn't get a reply to my earlier question, so here it is again... Spector or Warwick?

I play neither, but Spectors catch my eye.

Leftie or rightie?
