ABOUT

In search of a band...not terribly picky. Been playing bass in various hard rock, punk, and Americana genres on and off for around 25 years. Started off in punk bands, moved to rockabilly/psychobilly on the upright bass, then moved on to more standard hard rock and indie, and then played a huge variety of songs on the upright, acoustic, and electric bass in some cover bands. Looking for anything from punk to hard rock/metal to americana or blue grass.

EQUIPMENT

A couple of basses and guitars. Upton Bohemian Double bass is the fanciest thing I own. Hartke 2x10 combo-amp. A few little Fender amps. Willing to buy the right gear for the right band. (I'm also a competent live sound and recording engineer with some recording equipment)
