Influences

Always interested in bass playing, virtually self taught though wouldn't mind some instruction/practice particularly jazz playing, love rithym and blues also,, rock etc considering my age, but age is a figment of the mind, if you think young you stay young ,played with a 10/11 piece group on the Gold Coast with brass also, Busters,very enjoyable and got paid. The leader was impressed with my playing.

Instrument experience:

Bass Guitar:
Moderate

EQUIPMENT

Have a Epiphone EB3 bass 4 string in my possession, wanted a different bass sound, heavier and more earthy, but they don't balance well around your shoulders also a cheaper Chinese Fender Precision copy, have adjusted this and that, quite impressed with it now, no different to my old Fender Precision, the amp side is an Ashdow 300/500 watt head and an Asdown 2x12 T box with tweeter.
