Sorry guys -no amplification involved. I would have loved to be in that room.

Phil I bought the one out of Baytown. $600 for a carved bass with a bag and a bow. I couldn't pass it up. I discovered Edgar Meyer
this morning on You Tube! I considered selling. Geeze what a fine bass player.

I was able to spend some time on one last year at the "Old Settlers" music festival near Austin. I had a ball and have been looking for an affordable one since then. I found one in Baytown a couple of weeks ago. What an amazing instrument. I seem way too happy to plays blues anymore and Bluegrass an...

Dynaco st70s are pretty easy to find and rebuild. Mine sounds great every Saturday morning. I also run movies through it. Dynaco PAS3 is my preamp I believe. Old Cerwin Vega speakers that I repaired the foam on. Kits for that are also easy to find. Building kits would be great but this is a great wa...

I built an 18 watt trem 6 or seven years ago. I think it is the perfect amp. It goes to every gig. I have built a D-Lite, Liverpool, Express, and own several vintage Bassmans. I take the 18 watt. If I need more volume it goes in the monitors. I have doubled it up with a 5e3 deluxe before. That's a g...

I have not listened to The Rising in a long time. I love the album but it sure stirs emotions. The History channels program on 9/11 didn't help. It is a sad world sometimes. I balled my eyes out again to this song. I felt so much sadness for the loss and the horror the victims endured. http://www.yo...

I was moving some gear around in my stairway closet. Pulling out some old girlfriends and such. Unfortunately did a head count and realize I have 18 damn guitars. How did that happen. What do I cull. Can't sell the es125 I have owned since I was an 8 year old boy. My parents believed in me. Can't se...

Just put foam behind it and screw down the dogears on the cover.

Visiting pawnshops for 40 years. This is my second lottery winner. The first was a 1964 p bass. Wish the old strat or tele would show up. $64.95 for this one. The cocky pawnshop dude said something about a boat paddle when I hit the counter with it. 1963 Fender Jazz bass. It's not pretty but it soun...

Disco is a bit like Zydeco. It is just hard to have a bad time around it. I didn't care for it when I was young but I sure chased a lot of females to it. Now it brings up lots of good memories! Was jamming to Sly and the family Stone this morning!

I am liking this guy. Saw him on Letterman and had never heard of him. Check out the solo at 2:12. Dawes is his name.

My old cur dog. He is scared to death of fireworks and thunder. We just let him in and he hides in the bathroom. He was living under a bridge on the golf course when we brought him home two weeks before Hurricane Rita. He was way to wild to evacuate with us so he rode it out by himself in the garage...
