Bass Guitar.

ABOUT

Long time San Francisco resident, New England born, experienced piano, organ, keys player and a drummer looking for bass to complete a band, do some gigs, rock out and have a great time! We were building momentum and practicing regularly with another bassist and really breaking new ground but sadly he moved to NYC with a partner.

Our sound is a very thick, atmospheric blend of old and new tones, songs and arrangements friendly and familiar to the ear but a fresh take, feel good jams that are tight in the pocket, across a spectrum of genres, pushing the limits what 3 instruments can do, with a fun balance traditional and non-traditional time signatures. Essentially psychedelic keyboard rock with sprinkles of prog, blues, jazz, and funk, but why stop there? Let's get creative!

In addition to joining a couple great down to earth and professional, fun dudes, you'll get to practice in our sanctuary jam space out by Candlestick Point. This is no ordinary space, and not one-of-many in an industrial park. It's a single unit space within the confines of an artistic residential complex of like minded people, surrounded by gardens and nature, and a few friendly cats.

Inside the room boasts a full 16 multi-track recording studio, live practice PA with a Mackie mixer and JBL EON10s + multi-fx, a Fender bass combo amp to avoid lugging around yours if you prefer not to, BETA58 vocal mics and high quality Tama mic stands. We spared no expense. It's all designed for plug-and-play so once we're in the room it should take no more than 5min to setup, hit record, and go!

You: Bass player with at least some theory knowledge.....I'd like to signal 1, 4, 5 in C and you know what that is, but not expecting a Berklee School of Music grad.
