SEEKING

ABOUT

Lots of playing & singing experience in multiple gigs/bands including a bit of weekend touring when I was younger - no more of that, though! Casually looking to play something else interesting and enjoyable at this point - I have a regular semi-weekly church gig, a professional FT job, and a wife (!) so any side projects right now would have to be low key, low maintenance, and have a high fun index although I'm well acquainted with working hard and preparing well.

Primary instruments are electric bass, acoustic guitar & electric guitar as well as vocal. Played piano as a kid but haven't kept up the skills there. I do read music but can play pretty well by ear and able to follow well in most standard band situations.

EQUIPMENT

Sadowsky & Fender basses, way too many acoustic & electric guitars: Martin & Taylor acoustics, electrics include Fender mexi-strat/clone Teles/Gretsch hollowbody/ D'Angeiico semi-hollow/PRS plus a few other strays, and... a Godin mandolin. I sold all the heavy stuff - bass amp is a little, light & loud Fender 500w 2x10 combo with neodymium speakers - any gig too big for it to handle will have a PA I can DI into! :-)

The guitars go through a Helix guitar/bass effects/cab modeler and some nice modern PA gear including a QSC digital mixer and some QSC & EV powered speakers. Have a basic home studio setup as well.
