Kevin Scholl

Alright, folks, let me tell you about Kevin Scholl, a bass player who’s as smooth as a well-oiled reel and as deep as the blue waters off the California coast.

Back in ’79, young Scholl was just another kid banging on drums in a garage band. But when fate dealt him a wild card – another drummer showing up – Scholl made a cast that would change his life forever. He picked up the bass, and boy, did he land a whopper!

His old man, seeing the spark in his son’s eyes, didn’t skimp on the tackle. He hooked Scholl up with a black Rickenbacker 4001, a real trophy bass from the early ’70s or before. And let me tell you, when Scholl started plucking those strings, it was like he’d found his own personal honey hole.

Now, Scholl’s not just another fish in the sea. He’s got a knack for laying down grooves that are as steady as a mountain stream and as colorful as a rainbow trout’s scales. He especially shines in those middle-of-the-road tempo songs and during bridge breakdowns – that’s where he really shows his stuff.

But Scholl’s been on a quest, folks. He’s been fishing for that perfect bass tone – fat, warm, punchy, light on the mids, with a clean, well-rounded finish. It’s been his white whale, his trophy catch. And by golly, he’s finally landed it with the Nite Walker Bass Guitar Tube Pre-amp.

This little wonder is like the perfect lure for Scholl’s sound. Run it through his pedal board, and suddenly his effects are jumping like a school of silver salmon. And when he goes bi-amp? Well, that’s like landing the big one with a fly rod.

Scholl’s so pleased with this catch, he’s mounted it right on his wall of fame. He’s proud to endorse the @newbasstone Nite Walker pre-amp, tipping his hat to Cliff for tying this perfect fly of tone.

Based in Southern California, Scholl’s not just a one-bait angler. He’s a multi-instrumentalist and a singer/songwriter, but the bass? That’s his favorite fishing hole.

So there you have it, folks. Kevin Scholl – bass angler extraordinaire, tone hunter, and Nite Walker devotee. He’s the kind of player who reminds us that in the great river of music, sometimes you’ve got to try a lot of different lures before you find the one that really bites.

Trust me, folks, this is the kind of bass playing that’ll have you hooked from the first note. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a sudden urge to go wet a line and see if I can land some of that sweet, sweet tone myself. Tight lines, everyone!
