The Quest to Find the Brown note

[cnltb]

I have this dream that one day I will write a solo called 'low hanging fruit' on a 6 string bass with a low A string and split my signal into 3 sub woofers. The solo will consist of only the smashing of low open strings.

How old are you?

How old are you?

Oh... no need to worry, I'm only half ancient.

 

[ptg]

So your amp needs to go to 11 and the bass knob needs to go to negative 11?

 

[cnltb]

Oh... no need to worry, I'm only half ancient.

Oh goody!
I had that feeling.

What's up with the brown note? Does this idea exist outside western culture? And why does it exist?
