Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a man ahead of his time. In his poem Paul Revere's Ride, there was going to be two more signals, but he couldn’t work out the meter and rhyme scheme:
I hadn’t picked up the bass in a while…getting old…have some arthritis in my hands – from injuries and carrying heavy tool bags. The other day I was repeating a simple blues scale and my fret hand got tired really quick.
Then I had this silly idea for a Superman comic. I imagined a bass guitar with strings made from a composite of kryptonite and nickel-plated steel – these ‘superstrings’ gave it an unearthly tone. It was dubbed the K-Bass. The instrument was designed by Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu of Korn who probably is from another planet anyway.
Superman tried to play the K-Bass but he could barely press the string to the fret and his plucking fingers would quickly blister. He had a notion...aka

Superman’s Superstring theory
I hadn’t picked up the bass in a while…getting old…have some arthritis in my hands – from injuries and carrying heavy tool bags. The other day I was repeating a simple blues scale and my fret hand got tired really quick.
