I was introduced to bass through a friend of mine. The first album I heard was Black Sabbath Volume 4 and I was immediately drawn to the dark and complex bass work of Geezer Butler. I went on to admire and emulate Geezer, Gene Simmons, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle and Lemmy Kilmeister as a teen until devolping my own style of playing. I love challenging, bluesy and melodic lines of bands like Sabbath, Rush, Megadeth, etc. I've not been in a band in a while and my main focus right now is on creating original music. I don't want to be in a cover band.

Influences:

Geezer Bulter, Gene Simmons, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Stanley Clarke, Phil Lynot, Lemmy Kilmeister, Flea, Sting, Fieldy, and too many others to mention.

Equipment List:

Rickenbacker 4003 and 4001 (Black)
Guild Acoutic Bass (Black)
Ampeg SVT (is there anything else?)
RAT distortion pedal (sometimes ya gotta have a little grit)
Cry-baby Bass Wha-Wha
Shure Wireless (the coolest thing ever invented!)
