Wait….you guys change your strings?

I think it looks really nice. My pj is a similar color but not as much metal flake. As a former automotive paint mixer, some color pigments are heavier than others, add metal flake, 2k urethane clear and put it on heavy enough to bury the flakes and cut and buff, you essentially wrapped your...

Anita Baker for me The power in her voice at the end of this song. https://youtu.be/UZ5SaXj30Kw

I now that I have enough basses and guitars to last several lifetimes, inflation or not, I think I’m done. I’ve got them stacked up near my bed and I trip over them trying to get to bed every night along with squeezing myself between my amp cabs. Every time I stub my toe, my wife shakes her head.

Here is my new Fender American Pro II jazz bass in Mystic surf green. I’ve waited for months for this bass And a month ago was struck down with Covid and a three week hospitalization. I still do not have complete feeling in my hands so I have not been able to play it yet. I have something to...

I have a gig coming up in a few weeks where I will cart them from my vehicle to the stage simultaneously on this cart. I probably will also use it in single fashion because I can also lay all of my accessories on top of the cab and take everything in at once. I don’t like the idea of rolling...

It took me a few years but I finally added a 1 X 15 Cab to my rig. Now I have a choice to not have to bring the heavy 62 pound 4 x 10 cab When it’s not needed. Either way now I also have added a rolling dolly that fits both cabs perfectly. I noticed the new one by 15 has a slightly brighter more...

A winery that typically has acoustic guitar singer type stuff. We brought our 60’s instrumental surf and rockabilly and originally it didn’t seem to fit the outdoor venue vibe But People soon warmed up to it, we had requests and there was dancing and the wine was flowing who knows? We made...

I actually did this. I’ve been recording Our set and sending everyone copies so they can hear what we sound like. Most of these guys are older and do not have good quality sound equipment to hear what I’ve recorded so we spend time during rehearsal so I can play what I’ve recorded. I actually...

The issue with the drummer to me is that I don’t think he knows the material. He struggles with a few songs in regards to a specific drumming pattern. We’ve tried to get him to work with a click, he says he cannot. I’ve got him to write notes down but sometimes he forgets to read them before...

I am not the band leader. I am just a bass player who has offered one on one help for the drummer as well as the rhythm guitarist and who is trying to bring these guys up to speed. Both bandmembers refused help due to time constraints. I’m just thinking they are not as committed as the band...

Yup and they aren’t happy about missing out on other gigs and neither am I but I’m caught in the middle. They don’t know that our band leader may replace them though. I feel they my sabotage the upcoming gig we all agreed to if they knew.

I joined a lead and rhythm guitarist 3 years ago just to mess around and jam. Eventually we got more serious and found a drummer who initially was good but eventually didn’t work out. We found a new drummer and threw together a lengthy set and played our first gig. The venue owner was overjoyed...
