Ibanez TMB30 Short Scale Bass
For years I have had a Douglas violin bass, a Hofner inspired Beatle bass clone that is very similar to an Epiphone Viola Bass. I’ve had flat wounds and round wounds on it. It plays well and it is good … Continue reading
Another Craig and John Jam
Today we were going to go to the Amigo guitar show but we were having such a good time playing that we decided not to. On the first jam Craig played my MiM ash Telecaster through Tonelib Deluxe sim with … Continue reading
Cordoba Mini II MH
I like to bring a guitar along on vacations, going to the beach, biking to the park, or hiking in the mountains. At first, I had a Martin Backpacker, one of the early ones with the small headstock. I liked … Continue reading

I’ve wanted a Fender Starcaster since they first came out in the 1970’s. They looked delightfully weird and I liked the idea of combining the best of Fender qualities with the best of Gibson. I couldn’t afford one back then, … Continue reading
Rode NT-USB
These days, I am doing a lot of video conferencing and shooting instructional videos with my Dell laptop. The internal mic wasn’t cutting it and the cheap lapel mic I bought wasn’t much better. I started searching for a USB … Continue reading
Another TDPRI Backing Track
I have been doing a lot of TDPRI backing tracks. This one wouldn’t upload on Soundcloud because even though the creator of the backing track gave permission, Soundcloud thinks that uploading it is a copyright violation. It’s just an acoustic … Continue reading

Hotone Mojo Diamond
A long time ago I bought a Crate VC 508, a 5 watt tube amp with an 8″ speaker, an amp that a colleague recently took for a long term unauthorized loan (long story). When I had the amp, I … Continue reading
