I've actually never seen Les, though I hear he's a great player.
Closer to a Bootsy influence. My beautiful wife gave me a top hat, and it's become part of my stagewear. It's gotten a lot more steampunk since that gig...

and thanks - I love that bass.

some randomness over the years...

at a rehearsal in 2008 (Worker Bee fretted 7)


at a gig in 2004 (Benavente 51p fretless 6)


gig in 92 (Carvin LB75 fretted 5)


basement party gig in 88 (Mapleglo 4003)


and being grunge... before there was grunge on stage in High School in 85 (Fender jazzmaster... my Ibanez Destroyer headstock behind me)

Just a couple with My favorite basses...
Recent Pics with My modern player Jaguar... Love this bass!



And the one that got away. I still miss this one a lot, as it was stolen from My home back in January. Not really playing, but on the way out the door to a gig.
