Every bass player needs a good bass compressor to tighten up their bass sound and although I love my DBX rack, it can be a bit cumbersome at times. Without compression you can lose tone, attack, and much loss especially in the higher strings.
One of my all time favourites The Edge from U2 is a guitar innovator who’s sound was the fabric of my teen years and beyond. My memories of him was with a simple black Fender Stratocaster belting out his chiming delay laden sound we all came to know and love. Not what your typical guitarist would be playing. More
One of my favourite drummers from one of my all time favourite bands; Van Halen. Alex’s sound was always that signature Ludwig Supraphonic “Boxy” snare. Always with the perfect “Crack” and tone and always on point. More
In this digital age wouldn’t it be great to just plug in and play using your favourite device. “Jack” lets you do just that without the lag or noise of blue-tooth.

Having read many a tale about guitarist & bassists with constant pain, joint and muscle problems over the years brought this topic to the forefront for me. Under my daily practice and playing routine my hands feel fine. It’s when I take breaks and return to my bass that things get dicey.
Unlike the working and touring musician whose hands are under a constant barrage of abuse and damage. Any way you cut it, hand care is a must for anyone using their hands in this way. More
Veteran drummer Joey Kramer is now sporting Pearl as his drum of choice after a long time affiliation with Tama. This earned him a signature set with a few different finishes. I’m really digging the beaded Crystal Beat kit!
