Artwork that I finished today for our September 2009 release.

Just to keep myself honest regarding my pedal board…   it’s change a bit again.

However, I’m pretty damned happy with this variant of it.  The Valvedrive ROCKS as an always on PreAmp.  The VT-bass allows me to add a nice Ampeg/SVT sound when I want that (especially nice with my P-bass).  The ToneCore pedal usually has the Compressor module in it as pictured, but it allows me to swap modules between  Delay, Roto (Leslie), and Chorus if needed or simply due to boredom.  The 6-band EQ allows easy and quick changes to overall sound differences between basses.

The wait for my custom bass is starting to wind down and i’m close to going insane from the wait…   so…  I felt I needed something to take my mind off my wait.

See down below where the post about my pedal board being finished? I lied.
See the red bass down below? I sold it.

I’ve added some good things pedal wise in place of 3 of the pedals from the photo of my previous pedal board. An EBS Valvedrive (very impressed), EBS UniChorus (subtle chorus/flange/pitch modulation pedal), and I intend to get an EBS Octabass or MXR Bass Octave Deluxe (still undecided as to which, though most likely the Octabass as I’m more interested in natural and warm rather than synthy and cutting)

My custom bass is due in a couple months now, so I decided to part ways with the red Schecter Prototype bass. I miss it sound wise, but i’m avoiding the grief by buying a cheapie SX bass and modding the crap out of it. The cheapie is about 50% done right now.

I’ll post pictures of the pedal board and modded bass once they’re finished.

Just to self-inflict a dose of  humility on my skinny white-haired self…  Here’s a few photo’s from some recent gig’s.   2 from performing at a Nashville Predator’s game on Valentine’s Day 2009, and one from a recent gig at The French Quarter in east Nashville.
