Gig 2: Planets in the Ocean at the Tractor Tavern Dropped the roadie off at home, crammed a PBJ and apple, then off to gig 2, at the coolest part of Seattle: Ballard and the Tractor Tavern. This gig was courtesy of our pals in the opening act, Chimestone, members of which I went to high school...

ok, 2 gigs down, lots o fun had. Gig 1: Sunset Grooves at the Snohomish Block Party Brought the gold L1k as main, buttercream P as backup. Ran with the pedalboard, no longer using the Zoom B2Four. Sound guy was of the older variety. He had just ran a 10 piece band before us, but apparently us...

Two gigs tomorrow. One in the afternoon at a big "neighborhood" block party About Snohomish Block Party, where the yacht rock band gets an hour on stage, before tributes of Fleetwood Mac and Queen take the stage after us. Later that night, my rock band plays the Tractor Tavern, opening for a...

Decent showing for a decent gig. We got a $100 band food tab, so we all ate, which was nice. 2 45 minute sets, one bass per set. Club sounded great, we sounded ok, clams abound, but the crowd had a great time. This venue has opposite the stage a huge projection screen, showing live angles of us...

I have that 210 as well, rat fur though, and it's just so heavyyyyy

Yo what's your band??

The hottest day of the year in the PNW was Tuesday. Until Wednesday, when it was hotter. We played a quick gig Tuesday night on Whidbey Island, a ferry ride away. Our stage was a grassy area above another grassy area, facing west, no shade. It was hot and brutal, but a lot of fun and I can't...

Here are the hits: Killer venue, Hidden Hall in Fremont. Look at that lighting! Killer stage. Tons of room, raised well off the floor. Used my IEMs for the first time with this band and they were fine. Here are the misses: Afternoon show, had to pay for 10 hours of parking. Billed $14 to band...

is that floor monitor in the top picture firing into the crowd??

bass tone on point, tho! Need to get me a big cab for my ABM 300!!

My newest amp (Ashdown ABM300) and cabinet (Orange 112) paired together as backline for a sold out gig at the Conor Byrne in Seattle.

From last Saturday, we sold out the Conor Byrne in Seattle!

Well, the little buddy acquitted itself quite well. I realized as I got it on stage that I didn't know if the DI worked (or worked well), and that I knew enough how to use it but not to explain how to use the amp. One bassist asked me if there was a mute button (there is), and another asked what...

Played through this at rehearsal the other night. I had it stacked on top of an unplugged 210 to get it off the floor. It held its own admirably but the 112 was so mids-forward. I bumped bass and lowered mids and it was still that way. Regardless, the plan is to use this rig tonight on my...
