I am a Springfield,Mo area Bass Player with over 35 yrs experience.
i like to play mostly R&B Soul
music as well as Blues and
Classic Rock. New rock doesn t
do much for me because at my age, I m not trying to score a record deal as a "fresh new rock act".
I like a variety of music, but my heart is in the Soulful stuff with
a bluesy feel, and some rock influence, because I grew up playing Rock with early influences
which I will mention in the "influences" area.

Influences
Grand Funk,Beatles,The Who,Led Zep,J Geils Band,Delbert McClinton, Sam and Dave, James Brown, Freddy King,Robben Ford,
Pat Travers,Bugs Henderson,Robert Cray, Albert Collins and thousands of others.
I don t care for modern country because they are mostly "selling out" for the almighty dollar. It seems to be more about image than good music.
EQUIPMENT
I play Fender Basses, and Hartke speakers. I often use a Hartke Bass head, but sometimes use a power amp and pre amp. I use a minimal of effects(chorus,envelop filter,compression) because they tend to take away from the "punch".
I like to slap and use 10 inch speakers for that purpose.
