I'll get in here as soon as I get back from Urgent Care for the spiral fracture in my arm.

Annnnnd ... out.

At the moment, I don't have a burning need for a 1,200-watt amp but, hey, it's new and shiny. In my yacht rock band, we all go direct to the PA and my blues band evaporated into the aether, so I feel somewhat obligated to find another band. Anyway, I've had a chance to play through it a bit in...

Yes it is.

Well, some of you may remember my post about our beloved dog Chloe dying in September. We thought we would wait until after the first of the year to get a new one, but it became clear that we needed a dog now. So my wife felt that another dachshund was the ticket, but this time a miniature. She...

When I got up this morning, I had no idea I'd be making one of these posts today. Our dog Chloe was in severe pain and trying to go poop for a long time. She clearly wasn't her usual self. We immediately took her to the vet, where it was discovered there was blood in her abdomen. Further tests...

I probably should mention that I have a Bergantino HG410 (the one from NAMM). I've played it at a jam and I'm going to gig it in a couple weeks. As expected, it's a great full-range cab, very clean, not quite as thick down low as the HDN410, but tight bass and solid mids. It's as loud as you want.

The other might I mixed sound for a band using a Behringer XR18 and a Microsoft Surface. I got up to speed after watching some YouTube videos. They wanted me to get a good sound for the venue so they could recall it in the future. It took about 3 songs to get the levels and EQ set, then I...

Stop taking cell phone video in vertical format. PLEASE!

I've been watching Live PD a lot, and there are a lot of standard answers to the questions cops ask. When answering the questions, it's best to preface them with "I swear to God ... " (This actually means that the following utterance is sure to be a big fat lie.) Anyway, here are a few of the...

OK, I didn't mention this one when I got it a couple months ago, probably because I was too lazy to take pictures of it. So here it is. It sounds great and the craftsmanship is first-rate but, hey, it's a Sadowsky - what would you expect? I've gigged it with my blues band and it's perfect for...

Well, I bought this VF5 PJ last week- I'm trying to shift my collection to more players and fewer sit-and-look-purty basses. I'm really digging its playability and tone, and my drummer even volunteered that he really likes the sound. Anyway, it's got the Aguilar P-J pickups in it, so now this...

Picked up this Sadowsky NYC Satin Series today. Got your flamed maple top. Bitchen. Now I have two NYCs and two Metros. Here's a preliminary photo until I can take some myself.

I got a new (to me) hen yesterday - the venerable Bergantino HG310. I had a chance to A/B it with an HDN210 and they're somewhat different animals. The HG310 is very hi-fi and airy, with a punchy but tight bottom end. The HDN210 is thicker down low, with a little more low-mid presence. Neither...

I have 30 years of BP and I just don't feel the need for it anymore. I can get everything I need right here at TB. Well, not everything.

How's this for starters?

So now brands like JBL, Crown, AKG, Lexicon, Infinity, BSS, B&O, Allen and Heath, dbx, Soundcraft and others will be Korean-owned. I have no idea what the implications are for those brands. Samsung is paying 8 billion dollars, a 28 percent premium on Harman's closing price on Friday.

People. Hold the phone horizontally when you record video on your phone. DANG!

Tonight my wife and I went to a concert to see Dave Koz and David Sanborn. It was at a local outdoor venue with "very cozy" seating on cheap plastic chairs. As is always the case, the tallest guy in the crowd comes in and sits down right in front of my wife (we swapped places). Turns out it was...

We moved my daughter up to San Jose State this weekend for her first year of college. I drove the 450 miles up with all her stuff on Friday, and drove back with my wife today. (She and my daughter flew up on Friday.) Every cubic inch of the car was packed, so they had to take Uber from the...

... but today I played through a Demeter VTBP-M-800D and Bergantino HDN212. Now that's a nice sounding combo right there. Very creamy, not too heavily voiced - just nice. I can see why Lee likes it. But I don't need it. Really. No, I'm serious ... I have seven amps already, and the B|Amp does it...

... new way to cook peas. Have at it.

So I'm sitting here watching women's beach volleyball. Now why couldn't these ladies wear shorts and a t-shirt? No, I'm not complaining, not at all. No way. Uh uh. Just sayin'.

I got my new knee yesterday and walked on it today (with a walker). Walking is quite a bit more painful than I anticipated. It's weird - I can put full weight on it without pain but bending it is a mofo. I almost passed out on my first try, but after a hit of Valium along with some percoset, it...

Well, I had four hours of pre-op appointments (x-rays, EKG, blood draw, MRSA test, surgeon, etc.) last Thursday for the operation on May 10th. I'm all checked in - all's I have to do is walk in, get anesthetized and get cut. Then a month or so of rehab and back at it. I'm optimistic and motivated.

Now that's rare - I don't think I've seen one of those here before. As many of you know, I'm in San Diego when I'm not at Groom Lake, and I happened to be home for the last couple days while El Niño is in full force. We got "Shelter in Place" warnings on our phones so of course, I looked out the...

Just wondered if she loves only me.

I have some ProCo Guardian FatMax 8-gauge speaker cables for maximum bass audio signal transmission. But I was just perusing my Milspec Direct Christmas Specials email and noticed they have some 2-gauge jumper cables on sale. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to put some Speakon™ connectors...

Well, the Subways hit the street today. I had been building a war chest so in case I liked it I could get one. I played it for about 20 minutes today and decided it was a go. My fears about the EQ points were not substantiated to an appreciable degree - it sounds great "flat," and there's plenty...

Well, I have a 2001 Fender American Deluxe Jazz FMT V that has seen a lot of gigs. From 2 feet away, it looks pristine, but it's got some little nicks and dings I've stupidly inflicted on it over the years. So I've decided to have it refinished by Marty Bell - he lives nearby (when I'm not at...

Weirdest thing I've ever seen. It's like rubbernecking at a car accident.

... so my wife and I went to see the Kelly Rae Band featuring BassCliff. Here's the dirt - he's got great bass chops but also handles some of the lead singing chores. My favorite was "Love Train." He sang it just like the O'Jays on Soul Train. The band played a great mix of country and pop tunes...

I have a strong suspicion that the bass line in Henley's "The End of the Innocence" is a keyboard (probably played by Bruce Hornsby), but I'm trying to capture that tone on bass. It sounds kind of compressed, but I'm wondering if any of you can think of an effect that would get close to that...
