Portland ROCKS!!!!

Thank you Portland for an awesome show tonight. What a crowd!! Pat, Kirk, Rodney and Sandy were also fired up by the crowd and put on one of the best shows of the tour. "Root Jack" opened the show with some good solid blues. Great show everyone! On to Chico, CA!!

Thank you Walla Walla, WA!!

We had a great show at the Elks Lodge with Pat Travers. Happy Birthday to Pat's bassist Rodney O'Quinn! Opening act tonight was Brady Goss. Great solo piano and guitar.

Thanks again to everyone we met tonight. Looking forward to Moscow, ID!!

A big "Thank You" to our new friends and fans!

Hey everyone!

We've been having a blast out on the road with the Pat Travers Band. Pat, Kirk, Rodney, and Sandy have all been super cool and the shows have been fantastic! The response has been overwhelming and we have appreciated everyone who has talked with us, bought a cd or t-shirt, once again THANK YOU!!

Personally, I've had a lot of folks come up to me asking about the six string bass. Generally it's been "wow I've never seen that before" or "how do you do that?" For those who haven't seen a six string bass before, it's really not a big mystery. The middle four strings are the same as any four string bass in standard tuning (E, A, D, G). The two outer strings are B and C keeping the open strings ascending in Perfect 4ths (B, E, A, D, G, C). If you're not sure what a 4th is much less a "Perfect" 4th, email me and I'll be happy to go over some basic music theory with you.

I've been honored to get all the great feedback not only about the six string but also about the music. If my contribution to LoNero's music has inspired you in any way, especially to go out and make music yourself, I can't think of anything more gratifying. I love being able to get out and play the music I'm passionate about with three of the best musicians I know.

We've got more dates coming up with the Pat Travers Band. If you're in the area, come to the show and please come see us after the show!

Gallien Krueger MB210 rocks!!

Picked up my new Gallien Krueger MB210 combo a few weeks ago and finally last weekend got to try it out live with Amaryllis and did not disappoint at all. The amp had a clean, tight, and punchy sound through all four sets. Huge bonus, it only weighs 32 pounds! Nice to be able to walk into a club with my amp in one hand and my bass in the other ;-)

Do yourself a favor and check them out! http://gallien-krueger.com/products_mbCombos.html

Gallien Krueger MB210 combo

Well the speakers blew out in my Hartke 2x10 combo during a soundcheck last week.  They were starting to rattle anyhow so it was due anytime.  The combo is a mix of 2 10" Hartke aluminum cone speakers and one of the new LH500 heads. It's pretty heavy so not the easiest thing to transport around.  I was thinking of replacement speakers for the combo when it crossed my mind to just shop around for something new.

When visiting my local music store this weekend I saw several brands of bass gear.  All good stuff like Ampeg, Mesa Boogie, MarkBass, Peavey, and finally Gallien Krueger.  GK has been around a long time but until recently I don't think I ever gave them a chance.  I found a high end six string bass on the wall comparable to my Peavey Cirrus USA and plugged it in to the GK MB210 combo.  This combo will put out 500 watts if you include an 8 ohm extension cab or the 2 10" Neodymium speakers onboard will handle up to 400 watts.  I was completely sold after thumping on the low B of the six string and hearing an absolute, clear, punchy note.  What was I waiting for all these years?  This thing rocks!  Plus it only weighs 33 pounds.  It's a bassist's dream to be able to walk into a gig with your bass in one hand, and having an amp in the other that's small, lightweight and will still rock the house!

So now the plan is, an MB210 combo with the 210MBE extension cab.  Perfect for the small clubs!
