I just lost another peer.
Lance Collier of the band Dead East Garden just passed away. I met Lance back when he was reviving his old band, After the Sun a few decades ago. We let them use our jam room to practice the month before their reunion show. Dude was a great bassist, and his Boss...
Relish Guitars is another modular guitar design that didn't take off. Those were neat. They had a pickup mounting system that let you change pickups on the fly. GC had a Trinity that came with P90s and Humbuckers in mounts ready to go for like $400. I should have got it right then and there...
The Dunable R2 is the same shape. That one is catching on, as I know people who play the Dunables. Plus, there's a pretty big rock band playing those Hagstroms.
That's even more surprising. Last time I saw a legit guitar at my local GC, it said "Caparison" on the headstock.

Yeah, the ESP Forrest shape. I always wanted an F-shape. It never caught on.
The EBMM Majesty shape got popular enough, even when the guitars weren't. The ESP Horizon III is really similar in shape. Those horns are sexy on both.
Bill Govan passed away this week, and I just got the news. Bill was a good dude, and ripped it up on bass in his bands Goosed and Radian. When his health began to decline, I filled in on bass in Radian for a few months, and recorded their new album in his place. We all hoped for the best and...
I like my Peterson Strobostomp Mini. I like those a lot, but I just learned you can upload any picture to the Canvas tuner.
Any picture.
Imagine, you tune with your tuner, and then turn it off, and there's a picture on your board. On the practical side, you can put your set list, or a...
I'm hanging in there. Rehab is slow going. My ribs are still sore but I'm managing. I'm still working on getting my shoulder back to normal. I've been up and about a lot more this week.
