    Does anybody gig with cheapies? Share your experiences!

    I built one "pet" beater that can go anywhere. I have 4 custom basses built for rotating gigs, 2 fancy ones for promos, videos, photos or "special occasion" shows and 2 nice Fenders that are studio only. All these basses sound great, but they all have their special uses. My basses are unknown...

    DR strings?

    I've been using the DR coated for a while and got turned on to the K3 Neons 2 years ago. Perfect visuals and turns heads when I do shows that have black lights. They can be a little dark sometimes. When I do the rock tunes.. they do the job very well but, can feel a little round and numbing...

    Techniques for damping strings

    Seriously, I bought some Seymour Duncan Basslines and foam inside the box is perfect. It's soft and flexible to roll and tuck under the strings at the bridge. It's soft enough to give, but firm enough to soft mute with out killing your attack tone, same thing at the nut. The bass has the...

    Why do people mess up good basses?

    I appreciate a bass with mojo and sounds killer. Eddie Van Halen's guitar looks like crap, but he gives it so much character that it's the most copied guitar. Billy Sheehan's P bass is mangled and hacked to bits. But, put it on ebay and I bet you could buy a few brand new USA fenders with it...

    Ampeg stack just for looks?

    It's a tough fight, most of it comes from a shared guitar mentality. If it's not Fender, Gibson, Ampeg or Mesa it's Junk. So Untrue, I have played with a lot of different gear. I have a powerful Carvin Rig that has a great sound. My OCD ADD guitar player goes on about how my gear is not pro...

    Show us your Double / Triple Strung Beauties (8, 10, 12, 15 - Octaves)!

    Exactly! In the Bay Area, it's hard to find a (real singer who can front the band). So my drummer is too busy to sing and the guitar player, you can forget that! So guess who got the job? Either that or we don't gig. If it wasn't for DUG P., Glenn Hughes and even Geddy for putting bass guys in...

    "Official" Carvin Club

    For those who question the sound of Carvin, here is a pic of my cousin Troy Lampkins laying the groove for Carlos Santana on his custom Icon. He had incredible lows and distinctive highs. We all felt his power that night. Carlos dug his tone, so that lets you know Carvin is no joke. But then...
