Videoblog 13: Wholesome Music Goodness

Nice little Saturday. Wholesome good times.

Getting Funky at Bass Player Live 2009

The first week of my job, the shipped me off to Los Angeles with my bass to Bass Player Live. Amazing.

The Hot-Hand is a motion-sensing ring that wirelessly manipulates a wah, phaser, flanger or even MIDI output. In this video, I am using it on the wah. Let me know what you think!
