    Carvin fretless 5 string unlined -- (love fretless but I need markers!)

    Roscoe fretless LG3005 unlined -- (I need markers!)

    Zon Sonus Studio 5 --(just did not float my boat)

    Roscoe LG3005 -- (traded for Pedulla Pentabuzz -- didn't get into the Roscoe neck shape)

    Zon 5/2 -- (discovered Pedullas and prefer that sound)

    Zon 519F -- incredible bass but prefer 17.5mm spacing

    Sadowsky Metro 5 -- (traded for a 17.5mm Pedulla)

    Pedulla Pentabuzz 19mm (traded for a 17mm Warwick)

    Warwick Custom Shop fretless (no radius on fingerboard)

    Pedulla Hexabuzz (prefer 5 strings -- moved to Pentabuzz)

    Pedulla MVP5 (I was stupid to sell this)

    Influences and Teachers:
    The hard-bop/bebop bassists. also love any kind of Brazilian/samba/bossa bass lines/players.
    Hobbies and Interests:
    drums, what else!
    For a guy who has bought and sold a lot of basses, I really have no significant bass talent. I just enjoy the whole bass thing -- learning, playing, buying, selling, trading -- all of it. I try to play for 1/2-2 hours a day.

    My talents have really progressed quite a bit once I 'discovered' narrow string basses, particularly Pedulla's. Seems that was my 'missing link' for moving forward faster. Despite big hands, I like short movements, and never felt very good with 19mm basses.

    By day I am a 'retired' slacker, but in real life I am a 'gentleman soybean farmer'.
