And even though I consider myself a bassist first and foremost, I have almost as much guitar gear as bass gear! - Previously owned gear:
- A really long list of amps and cabinets and a growing list of basses. I miss the Marshall Major and EV SRO loaded 2x15 the most.
- G.A.S. List:
- Nothing, really... (are you as convinced as I am?)
- Gigs, Bands, & Ensembles:
- LP-2-CD, Party Rock!!!, Ex Post Facto Cream/Clapton/Zep/Classic Rock band and a Hard Rock/Metal band (to be named shortly, I hope).
- Influences and Teachers:
- Teachers...Jim Scholten (Sawyer Brown) a long, long time ago. Influences Jim Scholten, Mars Cowling, Mel Schacher, Pat Dougherty, Tim Bogert, Billy Sheehan, Victor Wooten but I play like none of them
- Other Hobbies & Interests:
- Making sonic bombast on electric guitar. Walking, weight loss (100 lbs since Jan 04, 2010)
