Band to Join.ABOUT
Been playing bass since I was 14, but I picked up various instruments over time, most recently picking up clawhammer banjo.
I’ve played primarily bass in several bands of various genres: jazz, prog/alternative rock, indie pop, and christian/gospel (admittedly not my preference)

EQUIPMENT
I primarily play an Ibanez SR-7 and a 100w fender bass amp. I also play a Les Paul tribute but I don’t have a decent guitar amp, I usually use amp modeling on an iPad straight to the PA when I need to play live.
Also I put a pickup in my Ibanez Banjo and have played a couple gigs with it.
I have mediocre instruments for every other instrument I play.

A decent showcase of my bass playing. Several overdubbed bass tracks including e-bowed bass.
