As with any other day at my job at the music store down town, my friend and I strive for ways to make our job moderately enjoyable… this keeps us sane.

This is why we decided to compare the every day String Bass to the human body. We believe we have created an accurate list of the parts of a Bass and their counterpart to the human body. This is what we got:

• End pin = Legs
• F Hole’s = Mouth… this might sound a little dirty, but look up the parts of a bass and you’ll see.
• Soundpost = Heart
• Fingerboard = Voice box
• Bass bar = Spine
• Tuning Mechanism’s = Vocal Chords
• Scroll = Skull
• Bridge = Ribs

So, the way we did this pretty much is compared the function of the part of the bass to the function of the part of the human body… pretty accurate… if you don’t know what all of the parts of a bass are/what they do, and you’re actually interested, you can check that out here: Parts of a String Bass.

Otherwise things have been pretty good. Tonight, I’ve realized I have issue’s finding star constellations, I don’t know where the north star is, and the big dipper really isn’t that big from my point of view. It’s actually like a foot big if I extend my hands out and measure that way. I’m almost 6 feet tall. I’m like 6 big dippers. The big dipper isn’t big at all.

And… where the fuck is the little dipper? it can’t be that little…
