    I'm really more of a researcher, drummer, and hobbyist engineer that happens to love bass, rather than a bassist per se. From 1985 to about 1995 I played synthesizer and home-made instruments, either solo or in obscure noise bands. From 1995 to about 2006 I devoted myself to Afro-Cuban style percussion, such as bongos and congas. As a percussionist I performed with East Bay Ray (ex Dead Kennedys), Bill Spooner (ex The Tubes), and Ward Abronski (Polkacide, ex Flipper) among others. Then various life crap took over and I stopped gigging altogether, but I started writing compressor reviews. And look where that got me! Now I'm the compressor review guy.
