Current Setup

My primary axe is a Spector Euro 5LX which I play through a Little Mark Tube 800 via a pair of 4x10 and 1x15 Mark Bass cabs. Aside from a chromatic tuner, my pedals include: Soundblox Pro Multiwave Bass Distortion, Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter, Boss Super Octave OC-3, and Boss DD-3 Digital Delay.

Gigs and Ensembles

None at the moment!

Previously Owned Gear

Yamaha RBX 350 was my first bass. I played a 4-string Ibanez BTB 500 until I fell in love with Spector basses about 4 years ago. Sadly, both basses have been sold although I loved playing both of them.

G.A.S. List

One of each style of Spector's USA series basses; a vintage early 60s Fender J-Bass, a 1960, '61, or '64 Fender custom shop J-Bass reissue. Vintage early 70s Amped SVT amp w/810e cab.

Influences and Teachers

Studied with Rick McLaughlin (New England Conservatory), and influenced by Paul McCartney, Oteil Burbidge, Mike Gordon, and Phil Lesh among many others.

Hobbies and Interests

Vegetable gardening, baseball, and food (both cooking it and eating it!)
