I've been playing bass forever it seems. I'm currently in a hard rock band but I'm open to other projects and subbing for gigs. I've played in numerous bands here in Vegas and in AZ since the 80's. I play by ear, don't read music, and know hundreds of songs. I'm a finger plucker but use a pick when needed. I can slap & pop also. Incedently, I'm also a lefty. Check out my band's website at: www.burnunitband.com

Influences:

Right now my influences are Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Velvet Revolver, Ozzy, STP, Airbourne, Metallica, Saliva, Audioslave, etc. I also like 80's new wave and funk/R&B, anything with a cool bass line. I sing back-up vocals and have a 3 octave range. My favorite bassists would have to be Geezer Butler, Geddy Lee, Roger Waters, Billy Sheehan, Marcus Miller, Jaco, James Jamerson, Tom Hamilton, Stanley Clark, just to name a few. (it's hard to pick just one!) My favorite band of all time would have to be Aerosmith. They have stood the test of time, and just f@%in' rock!
