Hello cruel world!

I`m just kidding.

Been playing since I was 12, starting out on six string GUITAR, of all things. Finding out (at the time) that I was awful on guitar, my first band members said, "Hey man, you should play bass."
I`m not going to say I blossomed on anything, but four big, thick strings, and the ability to move people (both literally and in the flesh too, cause we stunk!), got to me.

Sure, I played guitar for a few bands, but my first love is low end. I gots me a Squire Bass VI and don`t laugh, I paid cash for it. As well as many piasters for .095s too. I also have a Schiller upright, with a piezo and I sprung for the bow and ephemera as well. I`m not too big on effects, but I do like some compression/limiting, and I got one of those Boss OC3/deals. I`m not saying I`m endorsing anything, ever, but you can really get "down". Pun intended.

My backline is sorta silly. I use a fifty watt, old pile of a Rogue. I know, I know. after dealing with big amps for years the small, ported dung heap works for me.

I might even put wheels on it.

I like old punk, old hardcore (not Disturbed or their ilk), funk, jazz, blues, some old time metal and what ever else floats my feta cheese.

I do record. I used to do stuff on a tape four track. So now I have the joy of trying to figure out the wonderful world of DAW.

I do a lot of art, tattooing, music, drawing, painting and as you can see I can string a few words together in a semi literate rant.

I hereby solemnly swear to abide by the rules, and to keep my tongue firmly planted in my cheek.

Until we meet again, I bid you a good night/day/afternoon type thing.
