Bowlus Bass Blog: January 2006

About Me

Location: Fremont, Ohio, United States

I am an attorney by day, but that's really just my "backup gig" in case this whole "musician thing" doesn't work out. ;^) I was been blessed with the opportunity to write freelance reviews for Guitar World's Bass Guitar Magazine, and I contributed regularly from the Spring of 2006 up until Bass Guitar Magazine's demise. This was, in itself, a dream come true, and an opportunity for which I am truly grateful. But this was a stepping stone to bigger and better things, and I am now the Editor-in-Chief of Bass Gear Magazine (www.bassgearmag.com). Our first issue came out in August of 2008, and we are now the leading bass review magazine, worldwide. Of course, on the topic of my true blessings, I have a wife and two kids, all of whom I greatly adore, so my time for music/bass/songwriting/performing, and yes, even the occasional practicing, is not infinite. Nevertheless, I really enjoy my time spent playing bass, writing and recording songs, and just getting to "play" with all that great gear! This blog is a result of these external interests...

Welcome to Bowlus Bass Blog!

Well, after some external encouragement, I have decided to give this whole "blog thing" a try, and I hope to use this vehicle to consolidate some of my thoughts, comments, and experiences with various bass gear. I have posted a fair amount on TalkBass.com, which is a fantastic resource. I am also currently a freelance reviewer for Guitar World's Bass Guitar Magazine (I've been in every issue since I came on board midway through 2006), so I will reserve some of my comments (at least initially) for my print reviews.

Please let me know if you find this useful, and/or if you have any comments.

Take care, Tom.
