       There's a nerdy war going on and it's been going on for years. "5 strings are too much." "6 strings are for _____." "Real bass players don't play with a pick."…... Jeez If the "wannabe" cool musicians stopped being so judgmental and didn't make fun of him so much, he wouldn't have to make these embarrassing videos of himself explaining why the hell he might enjoy having a 10 string bass as a rebuttal. Two people are wrong here, the person who comments that it's dumb, and the person who bothers to listen. I think that if you have a 10 string bass the only way it's gonna look rock n roll is if you are at least very freakin tall, though.  Anyway.  I'm not gonna do a whole freakin blog about this.  you can see more stuff at youtube.  I think….at least that this guy loves creating music, playing his bass, and loves to challenge himself.  Still, it's only a 10 string.  What about adding a fretless neck, or a attach a banjo.  What about about 11?  Mine goes to 11!  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, from my friend Jeff, director at Madoff Productions.

article about the quartet live on internet air concert with Chris Harford, Dave Dreiwitz (ween), Eric Slick (dr. dog), and me.

it always comes back to hitler.  I tried the hitler/chaplin mustache.  In my mind it's my mustache i can do what i want with it.  I didn't feel like the strangers understood me cause hitler ruined that stache.  I guess it used to be kind of an option, like the handle bar, or regular cockbroom stash.  It's probably the skankest of all mustaches anyway.  good riddance - until history is boring again, i think the hitler/chaplin stache is outta style.  Out with the hitler stache.
