Gigs and Ensembles
C3 Sacramento Worship Team, just recently had another band break up. :(
Previously Owned Gear
An old, beat up Gibson SG style 4 string. I didn't play it much, the action was way to low from the previous owner adjusting it and the buzzing drove me nuts. I didn't know much then, otherwise, I would have adjusted it myself. I played it with really low volume on my buddy's Marshall guitar amp. Haha, wow, to look back.
G.A.S. List
GK Backline 600 Head, GK 115BLX, GK 410BLX or 210BLX enclosures, Warwick Corvette $$ NT, Warwick Corvette $$ Green Dragon Limited Edition, Hoffner Violin Bass (Woo! Paul!), Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4-string, hard shell case, Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray... among other things. ;)
Influences and Teachers
My old buddy Ben, who just moved out and was the lead singer of my last gig, kind of a utility musician. Played guitar, drums, bass, keys, and some sax. He got me started and learning all the basics and more. Now, I look up mainly to guys like Flea, Bootsy Collins, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Steffan Lessard, Justin Chancellor, etc. I am nowhere near as good as any of those guys, but, maybe one day I will be.
