Have you performed in front of an audience?
I love to play live..... 1980 at Willie Nelson's picnic while on tour with Bobby Bare (I was in his backup band, we called ourselves Wichita) I was onstage in front of 60,000 people.... that was a rush !
Your musical influences
I've done everything from '60s Rock to Ambient Soundscapes, Trip Hop to Power Rock.... but I love to play the Blues.
What equipment do you use?
Fender American Deluxe Precision Bass, Godin Z-Bass (with Zeta pickup system), 57-style Precision Bass (Mighty Mite body and Warmoth neck with Fender hardware and electronics), Warmoth Custom build 5 String with Bartolini pickups and electronics, Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II head, Gallien-Krueger 2 Neo115 1x15 cabs.
