Jason Autore
Well, this is just me playing bass. Most of them are completely improvised. It's all recorded using a tiny Peavey Microbass practice amp and Windows Recorder, through a really bad microphone that's part of my monitor. The set up sucks, so don't be expecting super quality. :)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing bass for five years. I play mostly rock, and a little jazz. I have four basses: my main Ibanez BTB, which has been signed by Victor Wooten, Kai Eckhardt, and Steve Bailey; my Kawai 4-string; my Ibanez 4-string acoustic-electric; and my Dean Rhapsody 8-string. I plug into an Ampeg SVT 3-pro which powers a Peavey 4x10 cabinet. I also occasionally use a Boss Chorus pedal.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Just with my band, The Mark.
Your musical influences
Flea, Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Kai Eckhardt, Steve Bailey, Adam Nitti, Dirk Lance, Victor Bailey, Jim Creeggan, Lars Norberg.. just tons. Name a big-name bassist, and he/she's probably influenced me.
