I am a Electric Bass Player primary but dabble on the Upright. I am looking for something that is fun with people who are laid back and really love music. I am able to read music, but not well at all (sorry if that is a deal breaker for you). I love all music but prefer to play stuff that is interesting and fun, groovy and has a lot of heart if you get it. I have been on my schools Jazz Band for 3 years, two of them being the main bass. I love playing outside in left field as far as instrumental roles go. Hit me up if you would like to record or gig, I am available pretty much any time just make sure to confirm with me a date. I am also very interested in making a band that centers around Female vocals or a Guy Gal vocal concept. I do have a drummer that is very committed with me as well my best friend for 6 or so years

EQUIPMENT
I have a GK Stack with a GK BX600 Solid State head, looking to upgrade this soon. I have Boss Pedals, Overdrive Pedal, Dynamic Wah, Equalizer.
My Basses include an Upright that has a very deep tone to it (This isn't mic'd so it could get lost in a mix) Fender MIM V string with Noiseless Phat Stack Humbuckers and Ernie Ball Cobalt 130-45 strings, Spector NS4 Korean Legend Bass with Steve Harris Flatwounds (Drop tuned a whole step from standard tuning) and EMG HZ Passive pickups, and Carvin SB 4000 Bass with Dunlap nickle strings 105-45 on it all stock with the Carvin flare. (For Metal Bands, I only have one bass that could maybe be good for gigging because all the others are very bright (White and Orange colors). I also have a Ampeg SVT pro 8x10 cab with a SVT 7 pro head and a D series Mark Bass travel stack for gigs, 1000 watts of power! I have a studio for recording fyi
