Coffee and carrot sticks are surprisingly good together.

It is possible, however, that due to the generally dulled condition of my taste buds, that the combination actually tastes very, very bad and I just can't tell.

In other news:  Shaun of the Dead is brilliant, Napoleon Dynamite, a copy of which I became the owner of over Xmas, is hilarious, and Frida is quite good.  Requiem for a Dream didn't make me want to become a junkie any time soon, and Ichi The Killer is, erm, like, really violent 'n' stuff.

Handmade 4-string fretless bass (one of two in existence, from what I know of).

Lacewood neck-thru body with lined purpleheart fingerboard
Active Bartolini humbuckers powered by one 9-volt battery
Three controls: bass/treble; pickup blend; volume (with active/passive push/pull pot)
Leo Quan BadAss II bridge

Has some scoring on back (beltbuckle marks); some pickwear on front (was there when I purchased it...this isn't really a pickstyle friendly bass). Lightweight bass, sounds great (especially with flatwounds or tapewound strings), a very unique piece. Purchased from the Trading Musician in 1997. I don't have much need for a fretless these days.
