Hi there, I'm John and a guitar addict both Bass & Guitar.
I used to be a pro musician from '88 to '94 primarily on rhythm/slide guitar but owned a few basses for composing purposes over the years including a beautiful 1982 Squier JV P Bass, which I stupidly pawned like an idiot at the start of covid. Hey... Musician gotta pay rent, right? I'm still kicking myself for that.
A few months a go I got the urge to start writing for a new band I joined I picked up a Harley Benton MM84a (Stringray copy) and found myself totally drawn in again, (band impolded but at least I remembered my love of bass again)
I'll play virtually any style of music but my main Styles are rock, blues & some heavy metal for stress relief.
Bass player hall of fame:
Leon Wilkinson
Donald “Duck” Dunn
Nikki Parrot
Cliff Burton
Josh Smith
John McVie
Colin “Wally” Lowe
John Cooper
Tina Weymouth
and many others
Current line up =
Harley Benton PB50 “54 Bass style”
Harley Benton JB-75MN NA
Harley Benton MM-84a
Peavey C4 Zephyr
Ashdown Five 15BBH Head
Ashdown MAG 2x10T Cab
