Text 916-223-4508 to chat.
*** THANKS FOR LOOKING! PLEASE READ ALL ***
Check out my bass playthrough tracks on this page. I'm happy to learn tracks in your setlist!
(Recorded bass playthroughs to actual tracks)
I'm more of a novice player and am looking to jam with cool, laid back folks who don't mind working with one.
I want to help folks out with their low end needs while getting in experience. Everybody wins!
I'm motivated, love to cram, and can pick up on things quickly.
I enjoy playing:
Classic Rock
Motown (REALLY like playing Motown!)
Soul and R&B
Psychedelic Rock
Blues Rock
Starting to learn more Southern Rock & Progressive
I'm open to learning and playing material in the vein of any of the artists or genres here, and others - I'm just listing some of my go-to's.
Of course, I listen to a LOT of other stuff as well. Jazz, prog, metal (classic, newer, extreme, avant-garde).
No drama, no vices. Pro gear. I'm good to go.
Bring some of your favorites to the table. Let's get a set going and jam!
