TEXAS BASSISTS UNITE...

born and raised here.

Had the best MARCHING BAND season of my life this year & times with my son.
After putting his clarinet down to do bass we thought "Why just stand in the Pit?".
He did this all fall after the opening act, football:

and then made Regional Jazz Band on bass guitar with his other one
(he said the 5'er Stein made the part harder to play):

The best news came last week when we found out
he made 3rd in the state in UIL on bass guitar. :hyper::hyper::hyper::bassist:

If I don't watch it he'll replace me!!

2nd that on the Shiner and have a good one!
 
Another one from the Houston area....really Katy, Tx. just west of Houston.
My main gig is the bass chair at Second Baptist Church woodway campus.
Other gigs consist of studio gigs, playing with Caedmon's Call, Wayne Watson, Wayne Kerr, and others who need a bassist.
 
San Antonio here.

My main gig is the Air Force Band of the West, but I freelance when I can. I play any style, and read.

My main bass is a Fender FMT 5 string - the best bass I've ever owned.
 
Fort Worth...

Currently using Fender 4's, 49' Kay (upright), GK 1001RB II, GK Neo cab....

I have played a with several country folks, but have taken the last year off with the exception of a handful of pickup gigs.

Previous gigs:

Cody Jinks
Unwound Band
Shad Blair
Landon Dodd
Others...
 
I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

I freelance around - all styles and settings. I got my degree in Music so it's a big part of my schedule/earnings/interests

Here's the main band I gig with:
