Much thanks to Ben Harper and the whole crew at @takeover.live for making our @werenogentlemen show Saturday such a great experience. For every minute we spend on stage, the crew has worked at least an hour in preparation. And thanks again to all of our misfits that watched us live. If you missed it, you can still get long-term access to our show for $2.99. We hope to do this again really soon. In the meantime, WNG is headed to the studio!

It’s been a minute since I last prepped for a live gig.
It’s been a minute since I last prepped for a live gig. I’m getting my “Sakura” bass polished and ready with fresh @curtmanganstrings to perform with @werenogentlemen tomorrow night from 8-10PM Pacific on Takeover Live. We’ll be doing an acoustic/storyteller set from 8-9p and then making it LOUD from 9-10p in typical WNG style.

waybackwednesday – 2017 Pedal on the Pier with Dion Jackson and the Laker Girls.
waybackwednesday – 2017 Pedal on the Pier with Dion Jackson and the Laker Girls. This fundraiser is always good fun for a great cause: music, fitness, and entertainment all rolled into one. It’s a fun challenge for me too, because I’m jamming live with a DJ without any rehearsal or any idea of what songs they might play. It’s an honor just to be a part of these events alongside great musicians and entertainers such as Flea, Norwood Fisher, Craig Robinson, and many others

I don’t play with a guitar pick very often.
I don’t play with a guitar pick very often. However, sometimes you really need that really aggressive attack that you can only achieve by using a pick. I just ordered a new, updated design for my custom bass picks from @steveclaytoninc . Thanks again to @hearmedraw for designing a great logo for me!
This bass is named “Elvis” because of its classic tone and flashy gold-star theme.
This bass is named “Elvis” because of its classic tone and flashy gold-star theme. It’s an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5HH with a custom-made @alperiouspickguard. It’s different than most of my other fretted basses in that I keep it loaded with Dunlop Flatwounds so that I can get that fundimental thump that you can only get when using flatwound strings. Stingray basses lend themselves to flatwounds very well — thunderous tone and the string tension is just right. I use this bass for playing Latin, funk, disco, as well as lot of current stuff and original music. I love that Flatwounds have come back into the spotlight in pop and alternative music recently.
flashbackfriday – In the early 90s, I played bass guitar in band with Scotty Johnson (lead guitar), Alan R Willey (drums), and Jim Swafford (lead vocals/guitar) called “Feedbags”.

It wasn’t long after that Scotty left Feedbags to join the Gin Blossoms. Jim also co-wrote several songs that ended up on the Gin Blossums’ albums
