I thought so too, and was even looking for a picture of Saddam to photoshop. But it's too much work.

Dude, there's $50,000,000 in this. Tell someone, quick!

P.S. Colour me stupid, but don't bass guitars usually have four strings?

Why? Does 5 seem like to many for ya?

Ibby · 10-07-2008, 04:36 AM

they usually do, but fancy basses can have five or even six strings... and with a name like my name is mud (which I'm assuming, in relation to the bass playing, is a reference to Primus?), i can imagine why he'd spring for a five-string.

ZenGum · 10-07-2008, 07:02 AM

No, but the ones I messed around on had four. I guess they were beginner models. That would explain the training wheels.

Up yours Merc :P I play a twelve-string. A TWELVE STRING, YOU HEAR ME??!!

He does look different...waaaaaay different. He was on one of those insurance commercials where a celebrity speaks along with an actual customer.

My Name is Mud looks like Benicio del Toro.

Frampton nowadays from his website

All my favorite musicians eventually become old Englishmen.

Meanwhile, bass content: low E has been the lowest note available to music for roughly 5 centuries. But modern technology allows us to enjoy these lower notes now, down to a low B, and they have been put to use in metal, amongst other genres.

I am occasionally called on to play lower notes than low E, but I prefer to tune a 4-string bass down to reach those notes. 5-stringers enjoy a thicker, wider neck and closer string spacing... but I don't.

Are you kidding? not to be pedantic.. or a smartass... (or a pedantic smartass..) but, though I haven't looked, it's hard to believe any handheld instrument can beat an organ with 16 foot pipes for low notes. (Some organs today have 32 ft. pipes. I'm not sure if those were available in the 1700s, though, but 16 definitely were.)

But seriously.. how low can you tune it without the string getting too loose to be useful?

Pedantic smartass? You rang?

32 ft pipes? What about the 20 Hz drum? I looked it up and I'm waay out of my league here. The references I found describe the lowest notes on a pipe organ range from 16 to 32 Hz... dang.

Later in my search, I found reference to a 128 foot pipe. That's when I quit looking. Wow.

RF last weekend. Note the slightly swollen eyeballs (from crying happy tears) and the slightly chewed lip (nervous habit!) These are both the night after I got my job offer, and I'm a bit beer buzzed as well.

Nice pics Shawnee.

That left picture reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis when she first meets Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda.

I've heard the JLC a lot, more so when my face was thinner.
