SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard, Piano, Harmonica.ABOUT
I was in a 90's cover band that split this year, so I am currently looking for new projects.
I've been playing bass for 30 years. I am always writing & recording. My prefered style is funk/jazz, although I love many styles of music. I would be interested in playing with rock, pop, R&B, and funk cover bands. I'm fully commited, & have a very open schedule. I live in Rock Falls, but I'm willing to drive to Rockford or the Quad Cities. Maybe further for the right group.

EQUIPMENT
I have a full studio in my house, complete with P.A., & electronic drums. My bass rig is a Hartke LH1000 1,000 watt amp, Hartke HyDrive 4x10 & HyDrive 15".
I have a custom Carvin bass & an Ibanez SR800. Both 4 strings.
I recently rebuilt an Ibanez SG 6 string bass & purchased a Dean 4 string acoustic bass. I have several electric guitars, & 3 acoustic/electrics. I'm hoping to get an acoustic project going before the end of the year.
