Favorite Genres

Pretty much whatever I'm doing at the moment. A waste of time to do anything your not enjoying. Lately? Anything from Gold Motel thru Rob Zombie.

Gigs and Ensembles

Just some studio stuff. Not really in good shape for slugging a bunch of gear around.

Previously Owned Gear

I barely remember what I have now. Com'on give me a break guys... :)

G.A.S. List

Considering how little I play a 5 string I got a pile of them. I'm sure I had a good excuse at the time. OK, maybe just an excuse. Just ordered a SX Medium scale Jazz. Well I needed something lighter, right? Um, everything else I have combined is way lighter than the '78.
Hey, I didn't have an MS. That actually will be handy for a while and it wasn't that expensive. I got the feeling I'm getting no sympathy here...

Influences and Teachers

Rufus Reed, Jack Bruce, Geddy Lee. Eventually I started to fan out and learned there was always something I could learn from anything. Still do.

Hobbies and Interests

I've started doing some writing (not music, the other kind). Photography (still use film + digital). The NFL. Staying healthy at the gym. Not Charles Atlas just staying in shape. Some sort of shape but it's better than nothing.
