I think a $5 length of PVC pipe could do the same thing!


What's that sound? Oh, wait--that was the bottom falling out of the professional didgeridoo manufacturing market.

My band guy friends and I sometimes speak of the "potato bass," meaning a lump of exotic wood that's shaped like a potato or a Klingon edged weapon, bearing at least 6 strings. The typical potato bass is some garish color and has a fretboard as wide as a skateboard deck.

This is a perfect specimen of a potato bass.

I always thought that the early Ovation Magnums were "potato-shaped"...but they're clearly better than this "potato bass."

Blackness.

A ghostly coldness flies across my face. A barely audible swoosh causes the hairs on the back of my neck to stand at attention. Tingling sparks of fire shoot down my spine. My jaw muscles spasm and I can hear the unnerving chattering of teeth. The head is chilled but the rest of the body is snuggly warm. My arms raise overhead as I duck under the inviting covers.

This simple act causes a raise in blood pressure. A different swoosh is heard as warm life pulses through my ears. Rhythmic throbbing in my hands and feet are timed to a steady heart beat.

Shhh. Another sound catches my attention. I focus on my body but the noise does not originate from me. Straining, the sound is not coming from the coldness outside of the comforter.

My breathing deepens. The pounding in my chest becomes more resonant. My entire being vibrates in anticipation. My hand slowly reaches out to traverse the vast gully between me and the sound. One digit touches down and then another and another until the whole hand safely lands. The soft landing pad starts to shake and quiver. Our fingers reposition themselves, guided by instinct. My hand melds into hers; they are a perfect match.

Uh, no.

Wait a minute.

I'll tell you what.

I'll trade you my Behringer 24 channel mixer for the mic,
retail value 3,000 euros.

This mixer has 100 built effects that are completely
useless for anything other than calling your mom a whore with a preset delay that you can't change (so keep your whorish yelps in the 120 bpm range).

It is also featherweight, so when i throw it from California at your head you will just have a dent in your forehead versus a
fracture.

Contact me anytime...
(kerble's moms cellphone)

It is not ok to contact this guy.

I've heard them called "coffe table" basses as well.
