So about a year ago, this guy Bradd Facebook messaged me and asked me to fill in on bass guitar with his band, Buffalo Gun. I ended up playing the show with them and then slowly started to play with them more and more. Now I’m part of the band and have become very good friends with Bradd. The music is really fun to play, it’s a mix of harder classic rock style with some southern flare.  We play once or twice a month around town and are about to have a CD release party on November 20th! It’s going to be a good time!

Being in this band has really let me tweak my “over driven rock bass tone”. With the rather unusual combination of a typical Sans Amp Bass Driver, a Fulltone OCD guitar overdrive pedal, and of course my all tube Ampeg Classic head,  I’ve managed to achieved some pretty gnarly tones, without compromising my low end! I do have to say that this tone is not for the light hearted! (or the typical bass player!)

I’m still playing the Jazz that I got from the Kiteline Fender endorsement era! That thing is a workhorse and just sounds and plays so good! I am looking into some noiseless pickups for it in the near future.  I’m also really interested in getting an American P-Bass. Ideally I’d have a J body/neck with a P/J pickup setup. We’ll see how that turns out! I still have my Music Man Sting Ray 5, but don’t really find much use for it other than some church stuff. I’m not into the 5 string as much anymore – 4 strings is all you need to rock n roll!

Along with rocking and rolling, Buffalo Gun has somehow gotten an endorsement from OBP! Amazing!

That’s all for now, Peace!
