Demo: Earthquaker Devices Erupter Fuzz!

We always get excited when we catch wind that Jamie Stillman and the crew from Earthquaker Devices is working on a new pedal. The intensity around here went through the roof when we heard that the "ultimate fuzz" would be coming from them. The time is now and here it is, The Erupter! No need to dime this fuzz because Jamie did it for you. You can't put this pedal on blast because it comes, out of the box, on blast with the solo knob at twelve o'clock!

Throwback Thursday: The Search for a 1970/71 Fender Precision Fretted Bass

This is my story of how that came about.
