GHS Precision Flats Bass Strings
I really like these GHS Stainless Steel Precision Flatwound strings. They’re extremely well made and feel fantastic. They have just the right amount of brightness and life mixed with great natural mellow flat-wound thud that I want from a Flatwound string. I used my USA G&L LB-100 with a Nordstrand Power Blade P Pickup and […]
G&L JB Bass Pickups and Nordstra...
In this video I demo a USA G&L JB 4 bass with the stock G&L Alnico V pickups and 2 sets of Nordstrand Big J-Blade pickups, Clean & Clear and Warm & Wooly models. This bass has a maple neck and fretboard and an alder body and had DR Sunbeam Strings on it, the same […]
Flatwound Bass String Fun
Here’s a killer Marco PJ5 bass loaded with La Bella 760 Flat Wound strings. This Marco bass has Marco’s prototype Neodymium blade pickups. For this demo I used only the P or Neck pickup, since all of the other Flat Wound string demos are all P basses. The La Bella’s have about the same tension […]

Peavey Mini Mega Amp
I recently acquired this Peavey Mini mega amp as a back up amp for myself and have been very impressed by its sound quality and power. The Direct Out is actually quite good and I have been using this amp on many gigs. I also have a couple of touring bassist friends that use this […]
Marco N1 Bass DR DDT Strings
I just received this Marco N1 bass and strung it with a fresh set of DR DDT strings. I wanted to shoot a quick demo of me getting used to the instrument, it is a killer playing and sounding bass and this will be one of my main gigging recording basses. The bass is one […]

Roger Stallion Singlecut 5 Bass Sound...
Here’s an awesome Roger Stallion Singlecut 5 bass. This is a quick sound demo with some backing tracks, a full review coming soon. For the recording I had the Pope preamp on and have the treble and bass boosted just a tiny bit, with both pickups on and no other EQ. I also used my […]
G&L LB-100 Bass Pickup Nordstran...
I absolutely love the USA G&L LB-100 and its stock USA G&L P-Bass pickup, but I wanted to do a comparison video and demo the stock G&L LB-100 pickup and the Nordstrand Power Blade 4 pickup, one of my favorite P-Bass replacement pickups out there. The difference in Gain and Volume are definitely apparent and […]
