Previously Owned Gear

Gibson Ripper (still own), Peavey TNT 130. When I lived in Canada I primarily used a Marshall bass stack and a Ricky 4003; previous to that it was a bada## Ampeg setup, damn that set-up had a LOT of speaker cabs.

G.A.S. List

Another Ricky 4003...must be JG, with the white binding. Also would like a fretless (not fussy as to the make) and a 5 string (my hands are too small to deal with a 6 or more stringed bass).

Influences and Teachers

Influences/Teachers... primarily Paul McArtney, then watch out, I discovered Deep Purple at the age of 17...perfect timing. Since then everything and everyone from each of the decades. There's always something new going on to be influenced by.

Hobbies and Interests

Photography (I have a Master's degree in it), Sci Fi model building, cooking (up to gourmet) and creating bespoke items from driftwood. I live 5 mins from the beach here on the English channel.

Teaching Credentials

Am a qualified teacher (photography is my specialism). I have my Cert.Ed. and my P.G.C.E. Am DBS checked and certified.
