I am currently considering purchasing a Mesa Powerhouse 1200 to replace my Carvin BRX 4.10. I normally use a 2050wattt Carvin full stack with the addition of a BRX single 18. The tone is AMAZING, but unfortunately it is far to powerful for small and medium sized venue. The Mesa looks like it...

Like I had stated before in an earlier post I exclusively play an 8 string octave. I started playing this particular bass 3 bands ago. We had a very unique collection of instruments in that group. 1 Electric guitar on lead, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 wash board, and in the beginning me playing a 4...

Thank you! Do you have any videos of your group with you on the 8? If so id love to see them. Weve pulled back a little this month so we could have the time off the road to cut our new album. Its titled "Afflictions and Addictions". It should be pressed and ready for distribution in about 6-8...

Invalid Link Removed there you go!

That type of attitude and ego is like a cancer. If you don't correct the root problem then eventually it spreads and becomes terminal killing your group. In my band we have no room for nor do we tolerate over inflated ego's or bad attitudes of any sort. This is how we make our living, so we...

8.04Lbs flat cannot be beat. My omen 8 combined with my strap is a back breaker! I use roto sounds on the Fernandez and SIT on the omen. They both are completely different animals. The omen sounds better when played with a pick. I use .88 and they work great. The Fernandez i used my thumb as...

If you go to reverbnation.com and type in Tequilla Mockingbyrd in the artist search bar you'll find us. Under the video section you'll see a music video and a couple of live videos. Be sure to look on there for our cover of Fat Bottom Girls. The bass I'm playing there is a customized schecter...

I actually play exclusively 8 string octave basses. With the stage rig I have (Carvin B2000, 10.4 and 18.1 to make my full stack) I am able to unleash the full tonal capabilities of the 8 string octave bass. I play music professionally, and have found there to be no equal in sheer versatility...
