Occupation
Electronics Technician
Current Setup
Spirit XT-2 through Acoustic mini stack, various Yamaha basses. I am about to do my own defret of an old Yamaha. Peavy 15" enclosure with horn (looking for a valve amp to drive it)
Hotone, Moog, Boss and Mooer effects. I don't really use much more than chorus, and some distortion/fuzz for a bit of "rumble"
Favorite Genres
Progressive, hard rock, metal, and anything that catches my ear, (it can be any genre).
Gigs and Ensembles
War Waits
Level 7
Previously Owned Gear
Ibanez Blazer Bass, unknown (no name) valve amplifier that I got for free, coupled to two old "suitcase" style 12" speakers of unknown vintage. All stolen...
G.A.S. List
1953 Fender Precision, 77-78 Precision fretless, Steinberger L-Series (all previous I would have given my left testicle for when I was in my early teens), Synapse (I could afford it, but I'm not playing enough to warrant it). A Roland CE-1 in the box mint condition, and I am looking!
I would love my Blazer back, that was a solid lump of wood.
Influences and Teachers
Sting, Simon Gallup, Pino Pallidino, Tony Levin (King Crimson years), Phil Lynott, Lemmy, Dusty Hill, Chris Squire, Derek Forbes, John Taylor and Geezer Butler, to name a few.
Hobbies and Interests
Building electronic bits and pieces, fixing and modifying all manner of items (hording too much old stuff that "I wiil fix at some time dear"). Military history, general curiosity of how all things work in the world...

Signature
