About

I'm a laid back guy looking for some people who are serious about music but aren't "rockstars". I've been playing for 10 years including several bands ranging from punk to metal to funk to playing 12 bar blues for hours on end ( I'd rather not go that way again). Most of all I'm dedicated, have my own vehicle and my own gear.

Influences

Hmmm.... Tim Crommerford, Les Claypoole, Tommy Shannon, Jack Bruce, JPJ, Justin Chancellor, Nick Oliveri, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor, Flea and since every other bass player in the world has been influenced by Jaco I guess I have been too.... but I suck at Jazz.
