I've been using a Verellen-made Hiwatt DR 405 clone for about years now for bass. It sounds great when paired with any Ampeg cab with 10s. Even though at 90 lbs, it's a pain to haul to shows, it's become an essential piece of equipment.

Hi, there seems to be interest for another PRF NYC for 2019. It really depends on Louisville. I want to respect Labor Day weekend as their slot, but if that doesn't work out, I'd be into helping to set something up.

A recurring struggle of mine has been dragging 300 lbs of bass equipment to shows to get into an argument with sound people who insist on running a DI.

I was eying the Volto but after Justin's story, that doesn't seem ideal. I have use overdrive and delay on bass, and rely on both for my...

https://glose.bandcamp.com/releasesDoug's bass tone sounds so good that I essentially asked Ben Verellen to copy his amp. It does that Jesus Lizardy thing but I find it to be a bit more warm and dynamic sounding.

Streaming: Bandcamp, Spotify etc. Digital (mp3 for convenience and lossless for hifi)Vinyl records: for when you have the budget and want a cool physical format to sell. I have a stack of tapes and CDs on my shelf that people have given me. Some of them are unopened. I don't have anything to play th...
