Lived many years in Portland, Maine. Out through Windham to Bridgeton, Norway, Paris, Newfield, Porter, Thomaston. I agree; winters there BAAAAD, Ugggh. I am part Cherokee, moved to S. Carolina - Heap big better!!!
Went through Hurricane Debbie many moons ago. Did hurricane Andrew in Fort Lauderdale. My wife survived Hugo.
All that destruction and thunderous noises! Bass playing much more fun.
 
It was beautiful up in Maine but there is no way I could handle the winters. I need to learn more about grilling the fish we have down here.

Yep, 30 years of Maryland winter was quite enough for me. Sarasota is home sweet home. I need to find more time to catch some of the fish we have around here & then see about grilling them. I work in downtown Sarasota, so ironically for this Maryland boy, I just had the $3.99 "crabcake" sandwich at Whole Foods for Lunch (free WIFI too). At least they don't call it a "Maryland Style Crabcake"
 
Crab cakes is one thing I never order out. We make them at home. Just enough filler to hold the crab together.
I grew up crabbing and cooking crabs. I make Maryland Crab cakes better than many Marylanders, so I feel the same.. in this case I viewed it as a cheap sandwich containing the crab cake equivalent of a veggie burger. (i.e. NOWHERE near the real thing.) I Gotta have the Old Bay, Powdered mustard and bits of chopped red pepper in my Iron skillet pan fried in butter crab cakes.
 
Hi everybody,

I saw this vid. on Youtube ( Mr. Bungle - Carousel - YouTube) and was wondering if the owner is in the club and if he can tell me what the specs are, especially pups and if there is a preamp?

I am not the one playing in that video but I did purchase the bass from him. The bass is completely passive and here are the specs:

34" scale 5-string
Ash body (singlecut "Ryan" style)
Maple neck
Macassar ebony unlined fingerboard
Ebony nut
Hipshot Ultralight tuners
Hipshot "A" bridge
Basslines SJB-5 passive jazz pickups
Black hardware
Matching swamp ash knobs, ebony knobs, and black metal knobs (3 sets)
V/V/T controls
7.2 lbs

String spacing at the bridge?
 
Thanks, she sounds great on that vid and I hope you can get that sound too.

Thanks. It really is a great sounding bass and even with my limited fretless ability, I can get her to sing.

String spacing at the bridge?

Looks to be 17mm. I can't find my measuring tape right now but I have another 5 string with 17mm spacing and this seems pretty much the same.
