I'm programming new sounds for my HX Stomp today, and getting into some fundamental and more importantly useful sounds for regular bass players. As much as the YouTube algorithm might feed you some of the more flashy and soloistic moments of my
In an effort to be all about the in-person interview as much as possible on the podcast, I flew out to Minneapolis to hang with bassist, podcaster and educator Ian Martin Allison this past weekend. We talked about the very contrasting ways in w
Does the bass world really need yet another distortion and compression pedal? There are literally 100's of each to choose from at this point, and it is no longer a surprise when a new builder pops up and announces a new one has arrived. I have

In a continued effort to be as transparent as possible with my process, this episode breaks down some of the financial realities of running several small businesses as a musician.It all started 30 years ago as being "just" a bass player, but it
In this episode I'm sharing some thoughts on bass signal path when it comes to building pedalboards. We look at ideas for pedals routed in series as well as the current setup I have where I'm using parallel loops. I also go over a huge list of
I'm at a very fortunate point in my career where I have access to not just the most incredible instruments, but the most incredible people. While at the NAMM show convention lat month I met the folks at RKM basses and had an immediate connectio
Cliff Almond is one of the most underrated drummers of the past 30 years with one core element, "The Grid", that creates this effortless transition from Michel Camilo and Wayne Krantz, to arena rock tours and studio sessions. He also happens to
I’ve been waiting for this bass for over 4 1/2 years. It was the bass gifted to me and Chelsea at our wedding in 2019, and holds a very special place in our hearts. It also happens to be a world-class piece of design and craftsmanship, which ta
As I update you guys on the flood damage in this episode, I’m also able to show you some new pieces that just came in this week, as well as announce some new boutique stuff that’s en-route. The damage wasn’t as crazy as I had originally feared,
It’s been quite the weekend with the laundry room flooding and cascading down into my studio, soaking a bunch of pedals on the shelves you see in so many of my videos. I’m a couple of days into the drying out process and am hoping most things c
Sneaking one last episode in for the year! My list of what won and what lost in 2023. I’m extending the sale in the store another 24hrs as I’ve been so off the radar lately and not communicating with you all. It all ends at midnight on new year
I never say never, but most of the people I discuss in this episode are more than likely way out of reach. The gigs are super fun to think about though, and simply working on the music of these artists is a massive part of my process and gives
It is definitely possible to survive and thrive in the music business/industry, no matter what your entry point and no matter when you started. I’m sort of living proof of that, and despite many ups and downs along the way, I’m happy to report
If you watch the podcast on YouTube, let me know what you think about it being back on the main channel. I put up a clips channel and a YouTube channel like I was some kind of YouTubing empire… in hindsight, it might be easier to stick in my li

I just took delivery of the new Caveman Audio CP-1 compressor, and make a quick announcement of it in today’s episode. I’m also going over cover songs, how I pick a setlist for a tour, and what I’m doing less than 24hrs before my flight to Euro
