One of the people responsible for the creation of CDP is former Rap Artist Pete Nash (3rd Bass).

Tommy Lee (drummer for Motley Crue) was born Thomas Lee Bass on October 3rd, 1962.

Depending on the song it was tuned to a 5th (D/A) or a 3rd (D/F).

Figured bass is a type of writing found in Baroque music mainly. It is when a harpsicord part isn't written out but is shown by numbers over the bass part. So for example if there was the note F with the numbers 3 and 5 over it the harpsicord player would play the F and the notes a 3rd and a 5th higher.
