My New Peavey Grind Bass Guitar: 6-Strings of Awesomeness | Review
I went out to lunch with my wife and one of my sons on Father’s Day, and since we were right around the corner from the new music store in town, we decided to walk around and see what’s new. There were a few interesting bass guitars, but nothing that came close to my prized …
Red Rocker
I’m taking an involuntary break from school for a while, so in order to keep busy, I’m throwing myself into my music. For the last 30 years, I’ve been a bass player. In 1996, I sold all of my gear to focus on art, and went a great many years not playing. About ten years …

Fender Refinishing Project
I re-attached the neck tonight. It still needs to have the pickups and knobs put back, the bridge re-installed, and then re-strung.
Fender Refinishing Project
I got the body all painted, and then applied a few coats of varnish today. It was coming along pretty well, until I got a bit too much on it, and got a run on the front, near the top. I touched it, trying to smooth it out, and that just made it worse. I …
Fender Refinishing Project
Finally got around to putting the first coat of paint on my old Fender Precision refinishing project. It’s not going to be as fancy as I’d once hoped it would be, but I need to get it back to a playable state.
