John B jr

The one word other players use to describe me is "melodic" though some may have been using the term "moronic" and I just hear what I want. We're all trained to pick out the lower end of the spectrum. For a number of people, I'm one of their friends in low places. The band gigs occasionally and makes pretty decent recordings for a home-studio.

Current Setup
Darkglass Vintage Microtubes V2 900W head over a DG 2x12 cab fed by a Fender Nate Mendel Precision is my latest gas solution. Prior, an 850 W solid state amp over 2 1X15 stack with a VT Deluxe pre-amp to go big and a pair of Fender Rumbles to go light. Five string basses from Ibanez and Keisel and a four string AE for couch time.

Then I joined TB and all of a sudden, a two foot wide pedal board was brought into existence. It's already to the point where I have to remove pedals to add pedals but I gotta keep on pedaling.
