Watching the Eddie Trunk 40th anniversary show, I’ve always respected Mikey’s vocals (purely amazing) but then hearing him sing lead vocals on these videos for some of the VH tunes, he sounds amazing… and then he sings the backups too and I have to think how much did he carry ALL of the vocals?…...
Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster
My favorite bassist is Michael Anthony of Van Halen / Chickenfoot / Circle. I am trying very hard to recreate his tone. My effect chain is as follows
Tuner --> Seymour Duncan Bass Compressor --> Ampeg Scrambler Bass Overdrive --> TC...
Very clean, MXR EVH Phase 90. I pulled it from my board mid February. I thought of keeping it for nostalgia purposes, since I had it before the king died. Comes with Rubber knob sleeve. It has velcro underneath. No box or other papers. $85.00. SOLD
TC Electronic Spark, Clean Boost pedal. I had...

If you're looking for an affordable, lightweight, easy to play, great sounding PJ5, this is it. And gorgeous to boot.
This is actually one of the Michael Anthony (of Van Halen fame) signature models, but I've ever seen him playing a 5-string. He does play a 4-string custom shop with a Koa top...

This clip isn't new and was included in an article on Blabbermouth this week in which guitarist John 5 spoke about a possible Eddie Van Halen tribute concert.
But holy cow, these guys nailed this tune! John 5 is simply a superb player, has been for years.... and sure, Michael Anthony is in...
Filthy, empty bottle of hot sauce autographed by the still very much alive Michael Anthony. $89 (OBO) plus $9 shipping. So is it worth it? Christmas is just around the corner...
Let’s give Wolfgang Van Halen his due as bassist in VH. Eddie tried replacing Mike countless times. I love Mike. But Ed always wanted someone to challenge him. That’s why he loved Sam as a musician. Ed never pulled the trigger on a new bassist, maybe because at least Mike wouldn’t ever be in the...
I have recently acquired a Rockinger bass with a tremolo / Whammy bar on it from the early 80's. I have not been able to find another bass tremolo with fine tuning screws that has been made before it or like it. I believe it was made between 81 and 83. I am hoping that some information can be...
Announced this week at NAMM, the Ibanez Pia is predecessor to Steve Vai's Jem. The Pia sports stainless frets.
Eddie Van Halen's Wolfgang also sports stainless frets.
Music Man is going stainless with many of their guitars and basses.
The world's coming around and seeing the light. :smug:
A few years back, Bass Player Magazine interviewed Wolfgang Van Halen. I don't recall much from the interview because it was one of the few that I didn't read more than once, and I was not able to find it online today.
I was ambivalent about the band politics of Michael Anthony out and a third...
I was wondering, who actually owns one of these, and what they do with them. I've seen them before, but I was wondering if buying one is worth it, or if it's only useful for covering back in the saddle by aerosmith, and spanked by Van Halen(technically that was a double neck, but one, you...
This is an older subject, but does anyone really like wolfgang as a bassist? To be honest, I believe they only fired Anthony as an excuse to hire Eddie's son. In my opinion, Anthony is better and always will be. I believe the stories that Eddie had to teach him how to play is a load of BS. But...
