zombie1965

I'm a semi pro bass player from the UK with a passion for Gigging with my bands. I love the rush. I earn about a third of my income from Gigs and working with a signd artist whom I also lay tracks down with in the studio. I also gig regularly with a rock covers band around the midlands area of the UK.

I work as an Electrical Engineer and Data Technician for a Building company and specialize in electrical design and installation. Most of the work I do revolves around designing and installing in schools and commercial premises. I also have knowledge in Basic Electronics and Computer Building. I am sometimes found Mixing my work with my hobbies and building low wattage tube amps.

I enjoy recording and producing with other musicians I have a bit of luggable Recording equipment for recording live gigs
The mixdown is done in my studio/office that has a bit of audio treatment. Results are usually pretty good, easily a good enough standard for demos.:bassist::woot:

I am qualified to a teaching standard in Guitar and Bass, however I rarely have any spare time, therefor I don't teach anymore.
