ABOUT
I am 27 years old and have been playing music since I was 12. I have learned a lot of different instruments, but I feel most comfortable playing bass or rhythm guitar. I have been in a few cover bands in the past, but I have been out of the music scene for about 3 years now. I would like to get back into playing, hopefully in a performance situation but at least for fun at first. I am fairly open when it comes to music selection, and appreciate most types of music except rap. As long as a song has musical quality I will play it. My goal is to play music that will have a positive impact on people. If the crowd is into it, and the band is into it, then I'm into it. I am looking for like-minded musicians who are committed, creative, and open-minded. If you are interested in contacting me, my email address is: madmonkeybass.

EQUIPMENT
I have a Fender Precision Bass and a Fender M80 combo bass amp, an Epiphone Wildkat electric guitar, a VOX Valvetronix AD30VT guitar amp, an Alvarez Yairi Series acoustic guitar, and a cheap drum set.
I also own a small club-size PA system with 15" Yamaha mains and 18" Yamaha subs, a 12 channel Yamaha MG Series mixer and a Yamaha power amp. This PA equipment is back in Virginia, but I hope to have it with me in North Carolina soon.

Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man Year: 2006 Genre: Cover/Tribute
This is a cover I recorded several years ago for fun. It's far from perfect, but I recorded all the instruments myself. I had recently purchased a cheap electronic drum kit (although my drumming leaves a lot to be desired), and I was eager to try it out.

Fishin'
Fishin' Year: 2012 Genre: Other
This is a song that I wrote and recorded in 2011. I played every instrument: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, djembe, and vocals. The vocals were rushed and it's clearly not my best effort, but I was fairly pleased with the overall recording.
