A slightly used and hardly gigged on EAP. Custom cable for a little more length to give you some breathing room. Get that sound you've always wanted!

I think this question is really important and I am constantly chewing on it. I always want to be as honest with where I am at with it and sometimes it's not fun to see how I am motivated at times. Give this a read and I look forward to hearing some testimonies (or what ever you want to call it)...

I have a lightly used set of Spirocore solo strings for sale. I mostly used them in orchestral tuning when I was playing jazz. I switched back to my Bel Canto set for my recital, decidedly not playing in solo tuning. These strings were gigged on a few times but basically only practiced on for a...

I recently bought a new bass and with it the David Gauge LifeLine. I played it at a gig last night for the first time and It was so much different than my Fishman Full Circle--I liked it but I had a hard time dialing it in perfectly and the output volume was a lot lower as well. It took a lot of...

There is a lot of wisdom in this book–take a look at some of the things I am pondering on the first few pages. I strongly recommend you pick up this book! Enjoy, Parker http://basstony.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/book-review-the-music-lesson-victor-l-wooten/

I think a lot of us have been in jams and played a stock bass line to fake the Reggae style, so upon learning a handful of Aston "The Family Man" Barrett's bass lines, I was blown away by the way these bass lines carried the song with the low end and also how melodic they were. This gave me a...

I played with Jeff Hamilton last year for a "Day of Percussion" and I was completely excited and nervous (I was finally able to find the words last week). Who was the heaviest cat you have played with and how did you overcome your nerves/how did it go? I talk about my experience here, and if you...

I recently became a father and when I was younger I was a little worried that my music would end when I became married and had a kid. I know that other musicians that are young have had the same fears, but I know this doesn't have to be the way. So, as a new father I offer my advice on my blog...

A gallery of my favorite blisters. As a bass player I have had quite a few worthy of mention. I thought I would start documenting my favorite ones; here are some from this summer. If you have any that you'd like to share lets see 'em! :D [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The eternal question! Do you have the look? Recently an article was posted in a local magazine in my town, and that is what the main criteria was for the bass player for a band moving to Los Angeles. I write my thoughts about it here...

Hello, this is my first post and the reason I know about this lovely Forum. I am racking my brain about a tone that Patrick O' Hearn is getting on his fretless and fretted basses during the 79' Baby Snakes era of Frank Zappa. I love the sound! Have no idea what it is. If anyone can help and...
