Although the great bass player Jaco Pastorius only played a $1,000 bass
guitar it was said that he always ate fried chicken before a performance so
the grease would lubricate his fingers and the strings and let him play
faster. Changing bass strings is a lot less hassle on a Fender than on a
piano though.
