Check out my band's new album... it just came out friday. Available on itunes or any other major digital market, search for "Adora de Phonic" by Revery on your site of choice. Good old fashioned rock and roll, without being stale or formulaic. Judging by your listed preferences, I think you'd...

I always mod SOMETHING on any guitar I buy, even if it's just a set of straplocks or a new custom truss rod cover. I have an issue with anything of mine being bone stock, for some reason, and if I end up with an instrument like my current Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass, where there is...

I am strongly considering FWB for my next Grainger 5 purchase, but I don't want to get burned like I did on the Black Gold Burst finish in regards to the natural binding. Can anyone confirm that a 2014 Grainger Bass ordered in Faded Whale Blue would actually have the natural raw maple edge...

Yeah, I giggled at that same spot first time I watched the replay. :) I have threatened to buy a cowboy hat, and split it down the middle with a razor knife so my mohawk will stick up out of the middle of the hat. ;)

LOL... I am supposed to sit in the back, under the ride cymbal, according to John Paul Jones, right? ;)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETrFV6gCO8c&sns=fb Who's that guy playing a Grainger on TV? Oh, wait... it's me. :) Our new album dropped yesterday, and we were asked to play live on the Hampton Roads Show, our local daytime news/talk show. Breaking news coverage on flooding caused us...

Awesome... that second Myles vid was like having a conversation with him, LOL! Sadly, no PM about my audition or him guesting on my solo project... Oh well, it was worth a try! :) Thanks for hooking this up Shawn, this is awesome to get this kind of interaction with your favorite artists...

My new favorite finish, hands down. Any chance of seeing that finish (with headstock veneer) on a production Gary Grainger bass this year? Next year maybe?

A few more for Myles... Have you noticed more interest in the old Mayfield Four material, or even the Citizen Swing stuff, since your broader exposure with Alter Bridge and Slash? How often do fans ask you to sign those CDs when you are signing autographs with AB or Slash these days? Also...

Yeah, depending on what you mean by "flip" you might be better off ordering a new private stock lefty Tremonti. If you just want the strap button moved to the lower bout and a lefty bridge installed with a new setup, that might not be too crazy pricewise, but if you mean actually making it a...

That wasn't Myles, it was "Thor". :)

Okay, a few more questions... How do you decide which songs to include in the live set, now with four records to choose material from? Are there songs that you write now where you know as you're writing them that they will be "studio only" tracks, or does every song that makes the record have...

Wow, I could fill the thread myself, LOL! I'll just ask the one for now though, and it's for Myles. Myles - With all the time you put in singing for Slash and with Alter Bridge, is there any chance of the solo record you recorded ever seeing the light of day? And, to paraphrase the above...

We haven't had a show since I got my Grainger bass, but you bet it'll be hitting the stage ASAP. As for playing a Private Stock out, in my mind I could never justify spending that kind of money on a guitar (or bass) and NOT taking it out to every show I play. I buy the best to play the best...

I've never really been "driven away" from any particular brand... I've tried many times to love a Fender, but I just don't care for guitars that are more "assembled" than "built"... I like the hand crafted feel of a Gibson/PRS style guitar, and as of late I have developed a strong preference for...
