Picture thread anyone? Let's see what you've got!
This was from a gig we played on Halloween. As you can see, my bass player costume was quite frightening! 
= new reply since forum marked as read
Typically the 5th string is tuned to "B" below the "E" to give a B – E – A – D – G tuning. Some people tune the low string to "E" and tune the high string to "C" (All fourths tuning unlike guitar where the 5th string is tuned to a third). On six string basses there is the low and high string and the fifths tuning produces B – E – A – D – G - C. Conklin makes a 7 string and it's tuned Low B, E, A, D, G, C and High F (all fourths)
4 huge strings is more than enough
My fingers are too short for it to be practical. One of the things I like about the G&L I play is that it has a 1.8" nut width so the neck isn't overly wide. I have a Fender P-Bass 5 string that has a nut width just over two inches and it's a little uncomfortable higher up on the scale where the strings spread out. The G&L is just right though!
Though I do also have a Peavey bass with a really thin nut, and I can love playing the heck out of that too 
in 2011 at the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
I'm just getting ready to cast the flower petals from my lei onto the waters over the sunken ship. It's considered a way of showing respect for the dead.
In keeping with the OP's Halloween theme, this is future me and current me taken just before Halloween

I don't post much so you're all more familiar to me than I am to you, but I've been here a long time
Nice to meet you! Glad you joined in, and I love the photo. Note to future self: A bit more carbs and protein couldn't hurt!
And if I remember correctly, hello to a fellow Bay Area native
Even my future self loves hearing the words "more carbs".
Please note we are almost the same color as well (my entire summer was devoted to not tanning).
Did you make the parade? I had to work and couldn't go, but my brother did and although he got pretty soaked he had a fun time. What a series!
did see the parade via the video I posted: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017224151
I had to work as well. Luckily I never missed a playoffs game or the world series. Always home in time to watch the game. I probably got to go to 40 games this year, so the Giants got my support. (Plus all those venders, caps, hot dogs, sodas, a few beers, popcorn, and pizza slices.)
I can't wait for next year, I may get season tickets if I can afford it, for weekends. Would love to sneak off to Arizona and watch some pre season games, that way you can snag many more autographs. Hang out with McCovey Cove Dave and talk about his boat!!
Nice personalized shirt, too.
Here I am, from almost a year ago! I haven't felt much like taking selfies this year, but this really is how I look these days...It was my birthday!
Love that smile in this photo. Very happy!
simultaneously if I did that so I'll spare everyone the repair bills.

Beautiful photo!
And I can't quickly find any recent pictures that wouldn't embarrass my family or frighten clients.
So here's a picture of me as a weird skinny kid in the early 'sixties:
One of my awesome elementary school teachers didn't think it was strange that my favorite book was Alfred Powell Morgan's The boys' second book of radio and electronics and she let me take it home from her classroom library and I didn't have to return it until the last day of school.
Your Bass Player costume is awesome.
...and I want Chocolate.
I could never pull that look off, even when I was thin, thin, thin! You however, nailed it. 
Great pic of you getting in the spirit of things! Mint julep in your hand?
Have you shared any of your finished work here in the Lounge? Love to see some of your work if you'd care to share it.
My favorite self-portrait from back in the day. I was somewhere in my early 30s.
Ackptfffh!
Going to have to search the net for a Bill the Cat t-shirt now!
Cool pic!
My wedding on Columbus Day, sharing a glass of 2002 Cristal Brut Rosé with Chef Rebecca Wilcomb at Herbsaint in New Orleans..
Lovely photo of a beautiful couple on your special day. Congrats!
Used to get that same look from my dad and I couldn't lie to him either! Great pic.
Sorry about the fuzzy photo.
