  Mar 27, 202626 minS0

  <p>After years of building one of the most extensive bass pedal collections imaginable, I’ve made a big decision… I’m letting almost all of it go.</p><p>In this episode, I talk through why I’m selling over 200 pedals, what triggered the shift, and how simplifying my setup is already changing the way I make music. </p><p>This isn’t just about gear, it’s about creativity, focus, and letting go of the “collector mindset” in favor of something much more intentional. </p><p>Owning more gear doesn’t necessarily make you more creative.

  What I’m Building in 2026

  Feb 17, 202638 minS0

  <p>The podcast returns to its own channel with a 2026 reset: a clearer lane for each part of my output so the main YouTube channel can stay focused on harmony/theory-based lessons, while the podcast and live/performance content live on their own separate channels.

  $749 For a Bass Preamp?!

  Jan 17, 202652 minS0

  <p>We're taking a look into the new Bass DI and preamp from Walrus audio in collaboration with Ian Martin Allison. Spoiler alert...

  The Ethics of Streaming (And Why it Matters)

  Jan 7, 202648 minS0
