I’ve been referring to it as my “perfect storm” of gigs; eight in three days. It was probably the only time when I had a legitimate argument for having three amps. Getting through this was going to require a lot of careful planning; I had different gear to use in three different settings, as outlined [...]
Jammit… Picture this: You’re in your practice room trying to figure out a bass line from the original recording.

Brian Neunaber’s small California workshop has just launched a pair of awesome sounding and unique pedals that bassists should take notice of. Their new stereo Chroma Chorus and stereo Wet Reverb Pedals not only sound great, but also incorporate some uncommon and hip features that set them apart from the pack. With the use of [...]

I hated having a pedal that was little more than a volume pot on a string; volume pedals haven’t [...]

Bass Musician Magazine reviews the Kala Solid Body U-Bass… check it out! (Please note corrections: The neck comes only in Redwood fingerboard, not maple. The pick up is a shadow pickup with a Mi Si Align EQ system.)
Markbass Super Booster Review They say, “Tone comes from the hands of the player.” That’s true…well mostly. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of playing through a Markbass amplifier, you quickly discovered that some amazing tones could also be delivered from one small magic knob, the Variable Pre-shape Filter (VPF). Here’s the news, Markbass has [...]
