    Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number

    Steely Dan Live Last Week

    I saw SD last week with The Doobie Brothers as the opening act. Both groups were phenomenal in their own regard, but it was maybe not the best matchup of headliner vs. opening act. But the reason I'm posting in the bassists section is because the SD bassist was just an amazing player YET... He...

    EMG GZR Precision Bass Pickup: My Video Review

    A week ago, I installed this passive solder-less pickup into my *mongrel* P-Bass that I hadn't been playing much of. It's definitely inspired me to play the instrument again... a lot!
