That's a possibility. In all honesty the Fishman Full Circle on my carved bass gives an even response arco/pizz. I'm looking for a replacement pickup option for my Eminence, and I'm not convinced a Full Circle would be a good match. So the question still stands. With the Lifeline, is there a...

Is there a big volume difference between arco and pizz with the Lifeline? In my experience with the copper foil Realist, arco is MUCH louder. That makes things tough if you switch mid song.

Has anyone found an upgraded gig bag or case that works well with the Eminence. I bought mine about 10 years ago and the gig bag is getting a bit worn out. I know they sell direct replacements for $200+. I'm wondering about alternatives. The stock case is adequate, but I would like something...

I have a slap technique question/challenge for the group. I've been listening to Les Claypool's Duo De Twang album. How does Les get the 2 quick dead notes (that sound like a snare drum hit) in between beats 1 & 3 of each bar? He does this on many of the root-five "old school country"...

Chris Wood is one of my favorite modern players. I've seen the Wood Brothers a few times and MMW twice. Great song writing, dripping with Blues and Funk. I'm glad to hear other people get excited about them too.

I wonder if anybody has had luck recreating the tight overdrive sound of Billy Sheehan. Here's an example of what I mean: https://soundcloud.com/#premierguitar/ebs-billy-sheehan-signature I like this tone because it's crunchy, but still clear in the mix. Many of the overdrive/distortion/fuzz...

Alain Caron and Doug Johns are on my list to check out soon. The solo stuff from Evan Brewer and Ray Riendeau is crazy good. Just hot my hands on some SMV. Killer. Thanks for all of the great recommendations.

Outstanding. I read somewhere they plan to tour. If they get within 200 miles i will see them.

Digging Dumpstaphunk. Looking forward to the new release.

I've checked out Infectious Grooves a couple of times. Thanks for the recommendation. Naetog, I've heard good things about Elegant Punk but I can't find it for sale anywhere. I'll check out the Paris DVD.

I've been getting into Jonas Hellborg lately. Time is the Enemy and Art Metal are great albums and I'm looking for more from him. Other recommendations are appreciated.

I'm hungry for some new inspiration and I have a taste for slap these days. I'm looking for modern funk, rock, and metal slap players. I'm well familiar with Primus & RHCP. I enjoy Wooten and Miller but right now I want something with a little more edge. I don't need the craziest chops...

Very cool. Thanks for the knowledge.

Anybody know what kind of thin body EUB Charnett Moffett has been using lately? Here's a good picture from the cover of his new album: http://charnettmoffett.net/connect/ It looks a lot like an Eminence, but a bit larger and the top corners are different. Just curious.

I'm getting into these guys more and more. Here's a 2011 article where they discuss their gear. http://www.bassplayer.com/tabid/177/default.aspx?ArticleId=5289 The whole band it TIGHT. I'm looking forward to the release of a new album in 2013. I hope they tour somewhere close.
