Ok, my attempt at humor

A man named Carl had worked very hard and decided to take a cruise to a very exotic and remote island.
 
After two days sail, the ship finally anchored a distance from the island destination. Carl heard a noise in the distance, boom boom bam boom.  
 
He then asked the cruise director, what is that noise?, to which the director answered,  Oh, don't worry about that.
 
So now Carl gets on the transport boat and as he gets closer to the island, the noise gets louder. A little shaken, Carl asks the boat's operator what the noise was. He got the same response, Don't worry about that noise.
 
So now Carl is in his room resting when the noise starts again, only louder, BOOM BOOM BAM BAM BOOM BOOM.
 
So Carl jumps up off the bed, runs outside and grabs one of the natives. As he is shaking the native he asks, What is that noise?!
 
To which the native replies:
 
Ooooh, that noise is drum solo. You hope that noise no stop
 
Carl asked why. The native answered:
 
After drum solo come bass solo
 
Yes, I heard it from a drummer.

Definition of perfect pitch:  When you throw your Warwick out the window into the dumpster....and it lands right on top of the Fender Precision Bass.

About Alembics.
 
This story comes from the time I had an MK signature Standard body with a point and my SII 5 string with the omega cut-out.
 
A painoplayer I played with occasionally  looked at the two guitars and asked: Hey Paul...why does the one has a point and the other a hole underneat?
My answer:
The one is male, the other female!
 
HA!
 
Paul
 
PS: BUT my dear friends let's continue the fantasy.
So Ron and Susan were not starting building those beautiful instruments say 30 years ago.
No-no... in fact they discovered the way to BREED them.
So ...when everybody's at home, when the Alembic premises at Santa Rosa are quiet and dark I guess there is a whole lotta fun in the shop. After some months of care by the Alembicians the basses are grown to be shipped. Now you know why it takes so long to get one.
 
HA2
 
Now you ask: What's the story about the non-bass guitars?
Well, there's a story about that joyful bass  makin' whoopee in another department. After some periode of embarrasment Ron an Susan accepted also that baby.
 
HA3

Jokes I've heard...
 
How do you get a guitar player to turn down?  Put sheet music in front of him.
 
How do you get a keyboardist to turn down?  Take his sheet music away from him.
 
How do you tell if the stage is level?  The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth.
 
What do you call guys that hang around with musicians?  Drummers.
 
How do you get two guitarists to play in time?  Shoot one of them.
 
How do you know there is a vocalist at your door?  They can't find their key and they don't know when to come in.
 
What's the definition of an optimist?  A trombone player with a pager.
 
 
I was coming up on a night club and spotted a guy just spanking the tar out of a kid on the front step.  I stopped and asked him what he was doing.  The guy explained, I'm the bass player in the band that's playing here.  This kid snuck up on stage and gave one of my tuning pegs a big twist!
That doesn't sound so bad, I said.  Why are you beating up on him?
Well, the guy replied without slowing his spanking. He won't tell me which one!
 
 
A boy comes home with a brand new bass guitar under his arm and asks his father to teach him how to play.  The father sits him down and says if you want to play bass, you will need to learn the fundamentals of this instrument.  He points to the fattest string.  That's the E string.  Just pluck it with your fingers and play that note over and over again until you feel comfortable with it. The boy retires to his bedroom and practices what he's been taught.
The next day, the boy comes home and the father gives his next lesson.  He points to the next string and says That's the A string.  Pluck it with your fingers over and over again until you feel comfortable with it.  The boy again retreats to practice.
The third day, the boy comes home and the father gives him another lesson.  He points to the next string and says That's the D string.  Play it over and over again until you feel comfortable with it.  The boy again disappears to work on this lesson.
The fourth day, the boy comes in and the father asks? Are you ready for your next lesson, son?  The boy replies Can't tonight Dad, I've got a gig!
 
 
One guitarist was watching another guitarist restring his guitar.  For some reason, it was taking him forever to put the new strings on.  He would open up a new string package and then, swearing loudly, throw it in the trash.  Finally, the first guitarist's curiosity got the best of him and he walked up and asked the second guitarist what the problem was.
Stupid strings! the second guitarist exclaimed. A whole bunch of 'em have the ball on the wrong end of the string!
Idiot! said the first guitarist. Those are for left-handed guitars!
 
 
And of course, an oldie but a goodie: If you threw a violin and a viola off a cliff, which would hit the ground first?  Who cares!
 
That's all I can remember now.

Hear the one about the guitarist who locked the keys in the band's van?  Took him a half hour to get the drummer out.
