Happy Birthday Jimmy!  If you ever come to Galiano Island I'll bake you a cake!

Hey Jimmy, i see you've answered a ton of questions about your string spacing already, but being curious about trying  a setup like that for myself, i was wondering if you'd be cool enough to take out a ruler and measure the distance from the centre of the low B to the centre of the G at the bridge. Forgive me if this has already been asked before, but i did a quick flip though and didn't see this exact one answered yet. I spend about 90% of my time playing with fingers or a pick, and have never been a fan of really wide and/or tapering necks, so when i saw your bass, i got excited by the idea of 5 nearly-parallel strings sitting in a pretty tight looking space. Having just recently gotten myself involved with a group where some extended range would be useful, i figured i'd like to try it out by pulling a conversion on something where the consequences of me not liking it are far lower than me spending a good chunk of change on getting something made to spec.

As an aside, i've got to squeeze in a little obligatory praise mixed in with a short backstory and say that i didn't know about you until a couple of years ago when a JT track came up on a radio station set up by "the poor man's private disc jockey" (read "Pays the band pennies" a.k.a. Spotify) and I had to look up who the bass player was because your tone was good enough for me to have apparently "made the stank face" while listening to a folky acoustic record! That's an accomplishment! haha

Judging by the last few posts, it looks like it was your birthday recently - might as well join the fan club and wish you a happy belated!
