Hey all! Happy to be a part of this community. I have been on here for 7+ years and mostly lurk. 31 years young from Arizona. I have bought and sold basse and pedals on here as well. I am grateful that a community exists where we can talk "all about the bass"!
I play in a reggae/rock/pop band called SKITN in Tucson, Arizona. Here's a small blurb and some music:

SKITN’s reggae beats and rock edge are an invitation. The five-piece band engages its audiences with laid back energy that creates a party where everyone is invited. SKITN has played with national acts such as Slightly Stoopid, Steel Pulse, Pepper, Long Beach Shortbus, Pato Banton, Half Pint, The Aggrolites, Plain White T's, The Dirty Heads w/ Rome, and Authority Zero. The band’s good-time philosophy – influenced by reggae, rock, island jams, ska, hip hop, and punk – comes to life on stage with Chris Calvo’s guitar riffs and Fernando Hinojosa’s improvisational keyboards and percussion. Scott Hilkemeyer (bass) and Kelly Velasquez (drums) cook up the groove, and Earl Rosales delivers SKITN’s celebratory lyrics with cool, soulful enthusiasm. Slice of the good life songs, like “Late Night Drive,” stick in your head like a favorite song you’ve never heard before. For over ten years SKITN has relished showing their guests a good time. But it’s not clichéd rock ‘n roll hedonism. There’s a spiritual element to the party – having a good time is good for your soul. And SKITN’s guests keep coming back – an ever-growing, loyal fan base follows SKITN to the next party. If you’re having a party, Keep It SKITN!
Here is my current roster. I have a custom Moniker on the way too!
