swpyne

My name is Spencer Pyne and I’m a devotee of all things low frequency. Most specifically the beauty, wonder, sound and thunder of the Bass Guitar.........

I have had one in my hands for pretty much as long as I can remember and, with the notable exception of my wife and daughter, they are my most favorite things.

I can be having a really rotten day but if I somehow manage to pick one up and slap, spank or pluck it, I always feel much, much better.

I have played just about every kind of music there is and I developed an early appreciation for all them.

As a young trombonist I played in orchestras, concert bands and jazz combos. As an acoustic guitar player I have been in folk and country groups. And as a bassist I have done everything from a three piece power rock trio to full blown seven piece contemporary country project.

Music is a mystical and powerful thing that affects all of us in ways we probably don’t even realize. I’ve always known it was my muse.........
