Music:
  • NS Design - Ned Steinberger's work.  The NS Design Radius CR5 is currently my main bass.
  • Stick Enterprises - The home of The Stick.  I've had several over the years.  Currently very much enjoying my plasma coated, brushed gold Railboard (The pics on the site are my actual Stick - Emmett took some promo pics before sending it to me.)
  • These are the ones that changed the game, and not just for me: EMG.
  • Trickfish Amplification - The Bullhead .5K is one of the best sounding amps I've ever played through.
  • Guitar Strings and Beyond - Great deals, amazing selection, great service.
  • Gruv Gear Fret Wraps - Can't believe I just found these. I have no idea how I ever survived without them.
  • DR coated strings I use them in orange, black and clear.
  • HeadlessUSA - Don Greenwald's site - the default source for vintage Steinberger guitars and basses, loving restored by Jeff Babicz.
  • Jeff Babicz's own site. Lots of great stuff here, including Jeff's "Full Contact Bridges."
  • Tree Picks - great feel, great tone, and they plant trees!!
