Truth!

This chart was inspired by a post I saw on @bassmagazineonline, but I adjusted it to include the results from my own experience. I have developed a love/hate relationship with the “I Love You, Man” movie.

I get asked quite often about my customized bass guitars.

I get asked quite often about my customized bass guitars. Several of basses have custom pickguards made by Alper Eskimez of @alperiouspickguard. His work is absolutely amazing. These pickguards are made out of wood and metal, so they actually improve tone and sustain a little bit. Every pickguard Alper makes is built-to-order and one-of-a-kind. In the photo on the left, you can see the detail of the wood grain in the pickguard on one of my @ernieballmusicman basses (this one is named “Elvis”).

So sorry to hear of the passing of Tim Bogert.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Tim Bogert. He was a huge influence for me and so many other bass players. He was so versatile, and knew when to hold the groove and when to get crazy. Tim helped to define modern bass technique and style. Hopefully, he and EVH are jammin’ again. RIP 🀘😎

Here’s a quick demo of the bass synth preset I created for performing the Missing Persons song “Words” using the @SourceAudio C4 Synth pedal.

This bass doesn’t have magnetic pickups. It’s a Lightwave-powered bass from @willcoxguitars. It uses an optical pickup system built into the bridge saddles. This bass provides analog and digital output so I can use it as a bass guitar and a MIDI controller at the same time. The analog bass tone is fantastic, and it enables me to just bring one bass to a gig or recording session, even when I need to play synth bass lines.
