I was just a little lad just getting into bass. RUSH and Iron Maiden were my main motivation. A friend of mine tells me I must check out this new band Metallica and gives me Ride the Lightning. Now back then Kill em All was very hard to come by and I have heard story's of a bass solo on this album.

I was at a store called Two Guys in Woodbridge,NJ with my parents. I was checking out the record section and there it was!!!! KILL 'Em ALL!!! I ran to my parents and begged for this record but they said no. I was so upset. We got home and my dad surprised me with the record!!!

It was time for bed so I put the record on to listen to while I fell a sleep. I was in between being awake and sleeping when I heard the now famous "bass solo, take1" I instantly woke up, got out of bed and just stared at my speakers. "there is no way " I said "that this is bass guitar." I had my dad drive me down to Lou Rose Music in Edison and I bough my first distortion pedal and wah.

I tell you this story because there isn't many things that happen in life that has such an impact on you, that you remember every detail. I remember this like it happened yesterday

Eddie Breckenridge (Thrice) - Pretty much everything.

I didn't have any single inspiration for starting down the effects path. I just wanted some hair on my sound to start. Played with a few multi effect pedals. When I really started to research some gear upgrades, this damn place is what got me really going on an all out effects hunt.

A couple grand later I've settled down a little on my effects needs.

[Achtane]

Melt-Banana didn't start it but they were a big influence on me.

Right now I take inspiration from Boris.

[DannDubblewe]

At the very beginning:

Mike Gordon - Down With Disease envelope/ flanger combo and his his synth tones. Basically, I had to get a BF-2 and the closest I could find to a Meatball.

Now:

John Davis; BOND - electronica in general. I can't stop trying to make my bass a funky synth machine.
