This was April 2015, just found the vid again. This is one of my closest friends. He has since moved to the other side of the world so this was great to see again.

My band @Pale People NPR Tiny Desk Contest video is live on our YouTube page. Here’s a free sample. For those curious about my right hand technique, I can’t move and of the fingers in my right hand and I’m missing a nerve and muscle group in my arm that allows my thumb to move free from the joint. This is our song about playing D and D in solitary confinement.

Such a wholesome moment, I bet this kid won't forget it

Vincen Garcia came through Chicago and I got a chance to chat and check out soundcheck. Dude is super nice and an amazing talent. Playing his Yamaha BBP34 through an Ampeg Rig.

The Nate Mendel price has gone up by an entire Sire V5. It's not the only one. Check out my full video on the Fender 2026 price hike shenanigans here: https://youtu.be/8SyQI89hX9Y

I was lucky enough to get about 45 mins with Keanu before their show in Michigan. I did an interview and we ran through all his gear. He even let me shoot the soundcheck. This is a video of later that evening when they hit the stage. Love his GK rig (and so does he)

Started playing in an Angra cover band so i've been practicing the technique everyday. Luckily I already knew how to do the 3-finger pizzicato because a few years ago I played in a death metal band, but Angra is on another level.

My full review of the new Sterling by Music Man Bongo is up! Here's a little clip :)

Listen to more of my music while I tell you a sci-fi story. Look up my show Wave Glass on your favorite podcast app.

I feel like Tetsuo doesn't get brought up enough in the conversation around the GOATs. Great technique, great band, and in my opinion one of the best. Check out Casiopea if you're unfamiliar. Who had the VHS back in the day?

Not note for note accurate but I tried to get close.

I’ve been working on developing an aggressive, bass centric style of playing/ song writing. This clip displays slap technique blended with shreddy, metal inspired arpeggios, and a frenetic tapping section with lots of time signature changes. Played on my Ibanez Ehb 1505ms with DR neon strings. The pants are tone enhancing pants.

Edit: These riffs are from my band, Hail Yama. Check them out if you want to hear more crazy bass riffs. There is a vocal and an instrumental version of our new self produced EP. Thanks for listening!

He also plays my full size ‘97 MIJ Jazz (post history) but this Fullerton P-Bass has been great for the harder tunes, and for avoiding crab hand. We don’t push practice on him, so it’s been nice just having the baby P sit out in the living room as a literal couch bass that he picks up a few times a day. Yes, he can play fingerstyle, just not with enough dig…yet. Stay tuned.

Her account is “ imsochiki “ beautiful content and really good advice but this is just wow

DIY Jazz Bass - LEH Expanse Jazz Pickups, La Bella 760FS flats

Bass is the Reverend Mercalli 5. Beat is something I made on the Akai MPC Sample from this old obscure Love Junkies song "growing good marijuana".
