The Pot, by TOOL- Work in Progress

Working on a little Tool cover on a bass that just shouldn't sound good playing metal. Fender Sandblasted P-Bass, into a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 and Uber 410, recorded with just a Zoom H2 in the room catching the computer and amp. This is normally my teaching bass (students get freaked out seeing 6 strings), but this thing plays realllllly well!

Also- I’m NOT good with a pick on bass, so this is a step outside the ol’ comfort zone…

New Vid- The Big Gamble live @ Club 400 with Alyce Hart! (Copy)

Hey everyone- about this time last year, I wrote an instrumental tune called The Big Gamble and got it picked up by NoTreble, which was awesome! I never had lyrics or much of a melody for it, as I tend to create more mood-inducing tunes when writing on bass. I recently joined an original music group fronted by Alyce Hart (www.alycehart.com) who loved the song enough that she put lyrics to it. Last night, we performed it in public for the first time, and I think she kills it! Take a listen and let me/us know what you think!

Hello everyone,

In the limited amount of free time I've had lately, I've been working on a full demonstration and walkthrough of my custom bass I got from Pete Skjold (www.skjolddesign.com) last year. Here is a small piece of it, with some play through examples in various styles. If you like what you hear/see, share it around, and check out Pete's work at www.skjolddesign.com.
