Circle of Sighs has three albums out - I played acoustic upright, fretless and fretted basses on all of them (plus synths, guitars, dobro, banjo, etc). But live I've been playing nothing but EUB lately. Here's an excerpt from our first show where I used the NS Omni (last Saturday). We...

Awesome! I'm glad I'm not crazy, I really think the instrument works great in a metal setting. I also don't bother with thumb position when going above the 12th fret, it just feels unnatural doing that shift without a proper bass body. Although my buddy plays his NS in thumb position all the...

Question for NS Omni players.... for pizz playing, where do you anchor your thumb? Or do you anchor it at all? Also do you pull with your finger parallel to the string or is it worth the bother? I've been an acoustic double bass AND electric bass player most of my life. I recently got an NXT5...

Hey bassos, I'm looking to pick up a used WAV5 omni. If anyone has one collecting dust drop me a PM or email pocrkds at gmail Trade could also work but I'd rather just give you my money. For that matter if anyone has a used touch-style instrument sitting in a case unused, lemme know. Stick...

COUGH Resonator Bass-VI COUGH. (I mean, when our "other" thing is done, we can talk about that!)

"Drugs and booze do not help." Not true, they most definitely do help. Do the benefits outweigh the consequences? Definitely not. But to tell someone that booze won’t help when we all know that a drink or two definitely will ease the pre-show jitters -- well that’s doing more harm than good...

Not exactly slide bass, but not slide guitar either. Here’s me playin slide baguitar in my band Aboleth.

Beautiful basses! I've got a build in the works from Rick. Something that, to my knowledge, no one makes but that I had to have. Before I knew he was a TBer I saw some of his instruments on Reverb and figured he'd be a luthier after my own heart. Can't wait to see my own build pics!

Bassballs SOLD

Same. I have both. Both have their place. Soul? Funk? Jazz? Singer-songwriter? The TH500 is more than enough. And it really is loud, even with a 1x15 or 2x10. Pretty much any amp I play through is gonna sound good. I mean that’s why I get calls, because I rule. Stoner/doom? Tubes and big-ass...

Curious, why the meatsmoke pre AND the meatsmoke head?

I love my little gig bag Aguilar TH500 for “quiet” gigs. Does it sound anywhere near as good as my Sunn? Holy hell, no. Not in a million years and it never, ever, ever will. But it still sounds damn good. I’ll rock a Peavey Mark IV through a Crate cab if I have to, I don’t care THAT much. House...

Ditto SOLD.
