Have a Cigar

A big congratulations is in order for this proud new Papa. Here are Johnee D'Shea's new babies: Custom USA endorsement REX4 & REX5 (Rex Brown/Pantera) Spectors and Paolo Gregoletto signature B.C. Rich 5 string. If these aren't the most beautiful basses you've seen in a while, then you should definitely drop him an email & tell him so. All three of these gems have beautiful tops, but check out the mass of brass used for the bridges on the Spectors! Johnee has a marvelous collection of great sounding basses that he's used in twin cities bands from ShakyJake to LunaSea, & LadyLuck. Want to see these ultra sleek basses live in action?

Attack of the Spectors

Here's John Lockner of Maple Grove playing a 1986 Spector NS-2. It's a nice sounding & smooth playing bass that's never let him down on stage. This is one of five Spectors that he uses regularly to cover the low grooves. John's had a busy gig schedule, as he's been working with GEMINI for years. That keeps him active when he's not busy selling great gear at American Guitar & Band during the week. His past rock trysts include a long history of performances with great local acts Barilla, Dungeon, & Jaded. John's got a lot more cool axes to share, so check back on this site soon for more vintage mojo from a true dedicated rocker.
