The Tao of Yo

Vernon Reid and DJ Logic's second record has evolved into an assault of sounds and styles that defy genre, combining hip-hop, metal, and salsa influences. It's a musical tour de force, employing guitar and DJ work into a cohesive package of riffs and beats. There's also a political undertone to this release, making it timely and fitting during this supercharged election year. Guests include Latasha Nevada Diggs, Taylor McFerrin, Traz, Boz Omega, and Ricky Quinones, to name a few.

Whether you are looking for a room thumping acoustic bass or a bass you can plug into an amp at a moments notice, I highly suggest you look into a Dean Performer acoustic-electric bass guitar. The Dean Performer is a high quality bass for musicians with a low budget. The action and sound is incredible for such a low priced instrument. The Dean Performer acoustic-electric bass guitar will give you plenty of high volume and great response action from its select spruce top on a mahogany bass body.

Its cutaway body also lets you get to the high notes with great ease. The Performers three band electronic pickups let you plug in and get the sound you want at higher volumes on a moments notice. Since its humble debut in January 1999 the Dean Performer bass models have quickly become the world's most desirable acoustic basses. These models were designed with input from professional bass players from all around the world. The Dean Corporation has a great history of making quality guitars for many, many years. I own an older model of the Dean Performer bass series and all I can say is it is a great value bass for the price. The action of the bass is excellent and it sounds smooth and mellow to the ears. The Dean Performer is also a great bass for the beginner bass player as well. The instrument is very forgiving and very easy for smaller hands to get around as well. Also with the Dean Performer being an acoustic model as well, it will surely be more accommodating to at home practicing.

If you are looking to buy a Dean Performer, I highly suggest starting at your local guitar shop and sitting down and playing one. If your local guitar shop does not carry the Dean Performer, you can always find one for sale at your favorite online guitar store or on the ever popular online auction house, eBay. There are a ton of reputable sellers on eBay who take great care in selling and shipping of new and used Dean Performer bass guitars.
