 My eyes had begun to fossilize by the time I was in 4th grade. I still remember taking the eye test - There were various sizes of the letter "E" and you had to point which direction they were facing, I could see the top, largest one, after that everything was a gigantic blur! At least I knew why I was so crappy at baseball and shooting marbles!
 I'm close to being legally blind and don't see very well at night, the LEDS are cool and I'm thinking a little that a set of those might be fun on one of my 'Birds. - Cool stuff!

From last nights show in Auburn, CA.  Played the Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V all night long, left my Gibson Studio V feeling lonely!


Its a little grainy because it was shot by our guitarist with his iPhone.

This show almost didn't happen as for the first time in this bands almost 6 year history, our guitarist got snowed OUT of his house in the foothills near Colfax, CA.  He, driving a Prius couldn't make it up the steep driveway to his house which was covered (very suddenly I might add) with about 7" of Snow. I loaded up my 4x4 Suburban lickety split and took off to our singers house to get his guitar amp and then off to the snowing foothills.  On the way finding out in near blizzard conditions that the highway to his house was closed about 5 miles short got off the freeway before the closure and backtracked on 2 lane roads in about 6" of snow and slush. I managed to get to his location, picked him up and next had to negotiate a three point turn where there were only a single set of tracks.  We got turned around and headed to the gig.  What an adventure it was last night. Actually a very enjoyable evening and one of those "remember when" stories!

Are you using a Line 6 pedal set there? Looks like it - I have one and love it!

Yes it is my Line 6 Bass Podxt LIVE.  I like it too, building the patches takes some patience but worth it when done!  I pretty much run my amp and basses flat tweaking slightly for the venue when needed.

 I use the Acoustic 360 model and copy it over for each of my basses giving them their own individual preset that's eq'd (I run my amp flat too) with the parametric, I also set the output levels the same so if I want to switch basses at a show I don't throw the FOH guy a curve ball.
 I think it's a fantastic tool if you own and use many different basses, too bad it's virtually unknown in the bass community.
