Hahaha! I think you mean Mississauga, or maybe not... I've never heard of the term Mashugana before, until I looked up the definition. That sums up some parts of Mississauga well, LOL.

Mississauga is definitely a place in Ontario. Mashugana... probably a few towns that may fit the description.

Yeah, it's pronounced just like Mississippi, but change the 'sippi' to 'sauga'."Miss-iss-sah-ga"
Personally, I pronounce it Toe-Ron-Toe.
(Ta-Ran-Na to locals). 
Yeah, it's probably best sounded out as MISS-iss-aww-guh. The Toronto one throws people because locals say it more like Tor-ON-oh.
Our shop is very close to the Mississauga/Toronto border, and right by Pearson (YYZ) airport, hence the name. I live in the more central part of Mississauga, which 40 years ago was mostly farmland in an area central to a bunch of smaller towns that got amalgamated. They built a big mall in the 70s and all the development now surrounds it, with a bunch of high rise condos that from a distance, are very deceptive in terms of making the core here look very dense. We're a suburb of about 800,000 trying to make the next steps of feeling like a proper city.
Mashugana sounds like a metal band that should have come from here So far Triumph and Billy Talent are the best known 'sauga bands.

Also, Mississauga Ontario has wild architecture!
There's more coming on the western end, towards Mavis. Rogers is developing 7 (or maybe 9?) building that will also feature some creative concepts.
As for the Absolute towers... my balcony is in the background of this photo
Too cool. I had no idea you lived in the "Marilyn Monroe" towers. Must be a wild ride up the twisting elevator each day!There's more coming on the western end, towards Mavis. Rogers is developing 7 (or maybe 9?) building that will also feature some creative concepts.

Nice place!Was Remco trying out out a K Bass earlier, because I thought I felt a ground tremor...? (I'm in Brampton)
He flew home on Wednesday, and we had our wires crossed on the flight time and lost what would have been 2 hours of demo vid time. I thought the flight was 5:50, but it was 15:50, which is obviously two hours earlier. We had to pack up in a hurry and didn't record the K demos we had planned. I might have to practice a little tonight and record something myselfToo cool. I had no idea you lived in the "Marilyn Monroe" towers. Must be a wild ride up the twisting elevator each day!

. It's funny with all these basses around that I barely ever practice or play any more, which isn't a good thing considering I was a recreational player at best, before this whole Hammersmith thing started. I'm much happier letting the experienced and talented guys show off the basses.

Send me half a dozen of them. I'll make all the videos you want. Heck, I'll even take requests.
