Just curious as to who we are influenced by, not your favorites but
who's playing actually influenced your own style. For me it has changed overtime I started off w/punk guys like matt freeman and now I'm on to guys like juan auderlete and Marcus Miller. So who helped to create you sound?

Lately I've been noticing a distinct Jesse Keeler(DFA 1979) and Scott Reader(Kyuss and probably spelled wrong)influence when I'm jamming with my looper. |

However I'm classically trained on bassoon so that holds the vast majority of influence on my bass playing; a lot of providing counterpoint and melodic influence to the lead instruments.

Geddy did thing with the bass that the hair metal bassists weren't doing and it was eye opening. Then a bass teacher turned me on to Jaco. Enough said. |

a close second in terms of how I like my bass playing and sound to function in the whole band would be John Entwistle... I don't know how any rock bass player could listen to THIS and not want to have that kind of sound, presence and influence
