ABOUT

Hi. I'm Joe. I'm old. Not like Keith Richards old but 45 is old enough. I play bass for a very small church at 59N and Beltway 8. We have me, 2 vocalists and acoustic guitar. We need a Christian drummer to join us for praise and worship Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. We’re looking for someone committed to praising the lord and to being a part of our church family. God bless.

EQUIPMENT

I don't have much of a rig. I sold a lot of it off and kept it minimal. I have a solid body goldtop that I frankensteined together. LP shape with Seymour Duncan P-rails. I have a small Fender Mustang amp. Perfect for in room practice but it would have to micced for stage or studio. I have a Robelli acoustic bass and an Ernie Ball bass. Both are 4 stringers. No bass amp. Too big and I have a bad back. I use aelectro-harmonix Batallion DI/EQ/Compressor/fuzz pedal straight into a PA and a reverb pedal for color.
