ok everybody this is what people call a joke. In this case, the funny part is irony. irony is defined as a statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean the opposite of what is written literally. I know very well this is not the five string of the future. I am saying "hey look at what this guy thought a five string would look like in 2000." and see it's ironic because that's not what they look like.

woohoo!

The beard phone (1 forward from the crazy idea of a five string bass) is a must have for this season.
