I don't have pics of it, so come back later if that's what you're after. The story is good though.
A buddy of mine does a band called Psycho Plantation, and he did guest vocals on a song I wrote with Something Involving A Monkey. Now that SIAM is done, we decided he should have the song for...
I almost have my new bass pedalboard built. I'm using the Fulltone Bassdrive as a placeholder for the Griffin Analog Omega Drive I have coming. I could switch my Darkglass B7K Ultra in that spot too. Otherwise this covers everything I need for bass except for one thing. Can you guess what I...
I don't want to explain anything. It's good. Small town has 17 kids missing all from one classroom.
The character development in the story is great. The twist was great, and the premise is actually scary when you look at it from certain perspectives. It's worth a watch.
My buddy got a 3D printer and he's been going nuts with it. Good for him.
I bought a Behringer XR18 mixer and I need rack ears with holes in them to feed cables from the front into the PA amps in the back. He printed them out for me. I'm thinking of having him print a pedal riser for a mini...
I was bummed earlier because I thought my Shure GLXD16+ pedal was broken. I'm switching everything over to a different pedalboard to prepare for the pedals @griff10672 is about to send me (any day now) using a bigger board I have laying around. I got the power supply mounted and a breakout...
I built an IEM rig for my band to use, but they decided they don't want to use it. Basically, the half of the band that wants to use it doesn't feel it's worth dragging to shows for just the two of us. I still use my Rolls PM50S to run my vocals and just use ambient ear buds, and the rest is...
I sold my old pedalboard to a friend, Mike Burns of the band Radian today. I helped him get it all set up and layed out. Came out pretty good. He's still using his pedal platform amp right now, so it's all in front, but eventually he's going to put his delays and reverb in the loop and run...
Which amp should I use for lead work and solos?
Verellen Skyhammer
Mesa Stiletto
Mesa Mark V
Peavey 5150 (Choke modded block letter)
Bogner Uberschall
Rivera Knucklehead K100 (first gen)
Matsmp GT120
That the list I have to choose from.
I'm getting ready to mic up my cab to record. I got everything set up (mostly), but I'm having second thoughts on which mic(s) to use. I know it's going to be a ribbon mic and a dynamic mic close, and a condenser mic back a few feet. My ribbon mic is the sE Electronics VR1, and I love it...
I finally ordered tubes for my Stiletto last week and popped them in over the weekend. It was down for a few months while I procrastinated. I was running the Verellen Skyhammer along with the Mesa Mark V in stereo and I was getting along just fine.
Last night we had loud rehearsal for the...
First, I did some science.
I lined up the original Electro Harmonix Bassballs pedal, the Mooer Bass Sweeper, and the new Beez Nutz pedal from Griffin Analog. Honestly, Wayne just made me hate my favorite bass pedal. The original is a one trick pony, and I like that trick, but the controls...
I recorded my band over the weekend, starting with the drums. We all played together to get the feel, but the bass and synth were DI and the guitar cab was mic'ed up facing the wall with a bunch of couch cushions between it and the wall. I didn't really get any bleed in the room, and the...
Once upon a time, when I was but a young shit, I bought my first real bass. It was a red Schecter Stiletto 4 string I got from Guitar Center. It was my first neck through bass, and the first bass I bought new. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to play it all night.
I was playing it in my jam...
I was driving home from practice when the lights went out in my Honda. I just replaced the battery, but it turns out the alternator took a shit. I'm sitting on a side street off the highway in a sketchy part of town waiting for a tow truck.
