Attitude

I'm a bassist looking to play in a band, or perhaps in a studio setting. I'm also willing to do fill-in work. My biggest strength is writing bass lines for whatever songs you have. I can also play note for note whatever you have written. I'm not picky about playing any particular style of music, as long as it's appealing to me. Contact me, and we can chat it out. Thanks!

Influences

When I was a kid I went through my glam phase, my punk phase, then my goth phase, then my alternative rock phase. These days I listen to anything that sounds good; pop, rock, R&B, blues, alternative, anything and everything that makes me feel that Zen feeling I'm after.

Equipment

I prefer using my Fender Jaguar basses with Status-Graphite Hot Wire tapewound strings. I also use a Fender Jazz bass strung with Victor Wooten strings. I use Gallien-Krueger amplifiers and cabinets religiously. I have a pedalboard loaded with several effects; two bass synths, two compressors, a fuzz, a medium overdrive, octaver, 10 band EQ, wah, auto-wah, tremolo, and a digital delay/looper. I usually only use the compressor, EQ, and occasionally the overdrive and fuzz, but I like to have options in case the need should arise.
