"The Kapsule Duo removes all the stress I normally feel while traveling. Being able to fit two of my basses, along with extra strings, tools, clothing, whatever else you can think of, into one flight-proof case is such a game changer! I’m very excited to be traveling the world with this case!"
"Super adjustable and mega-comfortable, the FABRK Strap has become my go-to whenever I’m performing. It’s amazing how the right strap can remove so much of that bass weight off of your shoulders and make for a much more comfortable experience."
"What can I say that hasn’t been said already? FretWraps are such a simple and sleek solution to prevent rouge string ringing, and a must-have for any bassist!"
Joe proudly endorses:
Joe Calderone is a composer, orchestrator, mix engineer and session bassist. His original compositions have aired on TV shows like Making It, Cannonball, Temptation Island, and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. He graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2015 with a B.M. in Film Scoring. While at Berklee, he had the opportunity to study Bass with the likes of Victor Bailey and Joe Santarre, and scoring techniques with Michael Sweet, Sheldon Mirowitz and Kurt Biederwolf, among others. Throughout his studies in music, always analyzing, he has sought to take the best of a wide range of influences, from Tchaikovsky and Koji Kondo, to Death Cab for Cutie and Rush. Through his hard-rock influences, he became known for his aggressive rock finger style as well as his unique approach to bass line composition.
In 2016 he released his solo E.P. “Isometry”. During that same year, he teamed up with fellow Berklee grads to write an album which sought to take progressive rock in a new direction. The project eventually became Arch Echo, whose debut in 2017 was met with critical acclaim and an enthusiastic following. Tours soon followed across North America, Europe and Japan with artists such as Plini, Vola, Jacky Vincent, Tony MacAlpine, Periphery and Dream Theater.
Joe has mixed, orchestrated, and produced for bands across genres, including Arch Echo, Canadian pop group Zarbo, American rock band Mozey, and progressive metal artists Iliad Korin and Poincaré Conjecture. As a session bassist, he’s worked and recorded with many more artists, including A Minor Error, Sound Struggle, The Elephant in the Room, Poincaré Conjecture, Mozey, Jake Fields, David Everett Johnson, and countless others.
