Is a 5-string necesary?

I hear that in Europe somwhere, they've discovered a new treatment to break-up kidney stones...

They lay the patient on a table built over a 8x15 cab. The table ias nodules right at the kidney levels designed to aplify the frequency coming fromt eh cab.

A bass player then plays a 5-string bass detuend to A a few times through a 1200-watt head...

So far tests have been successful at breaking up the deposits and allowing the fragments to pass.

It had the unexpected side-effect of the patient having an affinity for funk.

(edit) wow... I don't remember posting this.... I was out of it at work today... :o :eek:
