    Hartke Kickback 12, w/ Rock Band...

    I use the KB12 all the time with a variety trio w/drums at smaller bars/venues. We aren't a loud band per se and I'd say it works fine in certain scenarios.

    Your Gig in One Photo

    My trio has had the honor of performing at an annual fundraiser put on by an order of nuns for the past 15 years. I was asked if we would like to perform a separate show at a retired nuns home, a simple summer gig in their dining room. As I can never say no to these wonderful people we arrived...

    Backing Vocal Challenges in the Weekend Player Space

    I'm referring to teaching the fellow to sing one note to complete the triad and be part of a harmony. He needs a starting point in order to be successful. It starts with focused effort rather then hooting and hollering. If that blows up then the experiment is complete and he doesn't sing or...

    Bonnie Tyler....

    I totally agree. While at work today watched a few of her live clips on YT and felt sad. She was the real deal.

    Backing Vocal Challenges in the Weekend Player Space

    Would you accept a lead guitarist who consistently played wrong notes and added parts for the thrill of it? An off key voice in the mix blows up the band in real time & as long as sentimentality is in charge you will be stuck. The fellow could probably sing if he worked at it and was coached...

    Guitar Doubling Live

    I am in the same boat as you. In the trio format we tackle hits all of the time that had much more instrumentation. If you can create your own version of a song and folks like it that's all that matters. (In fact bands do it all of the time) T Scholz admitted MTAF was lifted from Walk Away...

    Another combo amp recommendation request.

    SB112 for the win. Gollihur Music in NJ regularly stocks & sells online. I have an SB115 (which is fantastic) and the Hartke 12 combo which is great only if you like the snappy sound of their amps.

    Taylor and Travis' nuptials at MSG

    If Foghat was performing I might attend but no such announcement has been made...?

    Sonicake B Factory Bass Preamp

    I don't believe so? I did get a response from them and I'll see how it plays out.

    The Official Washburn Club (Part 3)

    I have one being delivered today and will share my feedback on it. I stumbled into it and was impressed of what appears to be great playability and the Buzz Feiten tuning system being std. Was ready to shop for a new P Bass and this one checked the boxes. (at least on the Interweb!)

    Sonicake B Factory Bass Preamp

    Yes - I did a ops check on it last evening. Within 5 minutes of simply being plugged in and not playing thru it a low oscilliation started up followed by intermittent screeching. I wrote to the team at Sonicake to relay the issue and see if they had any instances of this happening. If/when...

    Sonicake B Factory Bass Preamp

    Yes I plan to - it ops checked A OK at home therefore I was somewhat surprised it worked! No I didn't tweak anything - No need to. It actually sounded like the gain jumped as well when it was having the issue. It was a definitely louder noise than when it was operating normally. I use no...
