Byron Miller’s Signature “Psycho Bass”
Byron Miller
Just when Funk Mugs thought it was safe to glide again in a funk free air zone, bassist Byron Miller, a.k.a. “Psychobass,” has returned to re-funkify the skyways with some musical ESP – Extra Sensory PlushFunk – purposed for recalibrating hearts and spirits to the vibrations of Peace and Love…Indivisible…under Oneness 4 All. His fifth and latest offering is fittingly titled The Gift – a 9-track song flight of spirit replenishing grooves that is refreshingly instrumental (no special guest vocalists), placing the spotlight squarely on Byron and musician friends that include Kirk Whalum, Paul Jackson, Jr., Walter Beasley, Gordon Campbell, Phil Davis, Munyungo Jackson and more.
Lynn Keller’s Signature 530
Lynn Keller
2017 began a stellar year with the release of the MTD (Michael Tobias Design) Lynn Keller signature bass. I’m extremely thrilled and proud to have this gorgeous custom bass on the market. I just returned from 2 years on the road with the 1st National Tour of School of Rock. This was my 3rd, 1st National Tour with my signature MTD. The bass has gotten accolades from every sound designer that hears it. I just finished playing a holiday spectacular for the Transcendence Theatre Company in Sonoma where I expect to be returning this year. I continue to music direct for Jackie DeShannon and have numerous projects in the works.

Ruddy Alcantara and his Signature 535
Ruddy Alcantara
I have thought about my experiences as a bass player, the sounds of the instrument and the ease to find the right tone when playing. I have wanted to take all these notes and apply them into a unique bass. When I proposed this idea, Mike simply said “sure thing ruddy, we can make that a reality”. And so he did. I hope that while using my Signature design, all bass players can have a unique and comfortable experience in their musical ventures.
