- G.A.S. List:
- - Another custom Stambaugh bass (fretless this time).
- In my 26 years of playing bass, I've never had such effects G.A.S., which was launched by my DarkGlass B3K. Here's the list of effects that will complete my dream pedalboard: MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter, Copilot Planetoid ring modulator, Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth and a Wilson 12 position Vintage Spec Bass Q-Wah. Also some stuff from Loooper to keep my basses ready at a gig and switching several effects at the same time. Of course, I need a pedalboard. Still deciding which one. - Gigs, Bands, & Ensembles:
- I play mostly latin gigs, but I love rock. There are not so many chances to play good rock here. That's why I appreciate so much my experience with bands playing covers from Rush, Yes, Kiss, Police, Boston, Hendrix and King Crimson, to name a few.
- Influences and Teachers:
- Stu Hamm is my biggest influence on the bass guitar. I also admire Mark King, Randy Coven, Billy Sheehan, Jaco, Geddy, Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten, Rocco Prestia, John Patitucci, Les Claypool, Flea... ; On double bass, my Polish master , Mr. Janusz Kopytko.
- Favorite Genres:
- Hard rock, progressive rock, funk, salsa.
- Other Hobbies & Interests:
- Computers
