- Some thoughts on recording bass guitar
As a bass player, I am used to conforming to the will of others. Typically my amp isn’t as loud as I like it or I can’t here myself as well as I would prefer or I am pushed into a corner on stage. These things honestly don’t bother me that much. Well the stage [...]
- The Search
Ok, I missed a show wrap-up a while ago, but it was so close to our show at Spin that it just didn’t seem that important. However, I completely forgot that I played a second bass, and that is important.
My friend Chad had a great Japanese made Precision bass that wasn’t seeing any action and let me [...]
- G.A.S.
If you are a musician, then you either have G.A.S. or you know someone who does. For those who don’t know, G.A.S. is a chronic disease that has plagued the music world for decades. It targets the wallet specifically. G.A.S., or Gear Acquisition Syndrome, can only be cured by, you guessed it, acquiring more gear.
I have [...]
- Playing for the masses
If you have been reading this blog, and just let me say thank you so much, you know I have had some shows with Training Wheel Fire which then became, simply, Tyler Bender. Well I am thrilled to say that I am now the permanent bassist for Tyler Bender. The bass player I [...]
- It has been too long…
Ok so I did my usual drop off the face of the blogging earth thing and haven’t posted in a long time, but a lot has been going on. Big news today, more to follow.
First things first, I am finished with college. After a long sting, spanning two schools and three different majors, [...]
- Radio Radio
Last night I played at show at Radio Radio located in the heart of Fountain Square. The show went really well and I had a great time.
First, I have to thank Jon for putting my name out there to fill in on bass and Tyler actually having me come play. Radio Radio is a [...]
- Post Gig Wrap Up
Well this past Friday I got to play my first gig in a long time. I think the last time I had a gig was when I was in my second year at Ball State. Our short lived career back then consisted of two shows and neither one went well. This time however, the band [...]
- Doc’s in Muncie
This is just a reminder that I will be playing with Tyler Bender at Doc’s in Muncie, Indiana, tomorrow at 10:00 PM. If you are around, come on out. Should be a good time.
Also, I slacked on my Arrested Development a day, but I am back on it. So here is Episode 2. Just a [...]
- Out with the old and in with the new
For at least 8 years I have been playing through a full stack with a Carvin R1000 powering a RL410 and RL115 cabinet. It was a ridiculous amount of power for the money. I found the R1000 while I was working at Mars Music. Someone had traded it in and so I [...]
- A shift in focus…
I am not a very good blogger because I write incredibly sporadically and have no focus whatsoever. I looked at my tag cloud and Outdoors is the biggest item, which makes no sense. So it is time for me to pick a subject and just keep to it. I will throw some [...]
