I'm the bassist for Deaf By Friday, for our music go to www.soundclick.com/deafbyfriday
This is my bass solo project.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing bass a year and about 2 months ago, i was in my cousin's band right away (the Scott Martin Experience), then we became Fallen Phoenix, then we got a new drummer and became Deaf by friday, and this is just a solo project for my bass solos.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
My band plays live, i doubt this solo project will ever see the light of day

What equipment do you use?
on bass i use a my fingers, a hamer slammer series 5 string, a fender p bass, a big muff pi, a dunlop 105Q bass wah, an ibanez SB7 bass sythesizer), a MXR bass D.I.+, various cables, a peavy TNT 115 (150 watt 1x15), a peavy basic 112 (50 watt 1x12), and a seiko tuner
-I'll probably add my old boss bass overdrive back into my rig and use it for light overdrive, not distortion.
-i'm going to stack my peavy 112 50watt on top of the new peavy TNT 115 150watt, and have 2 signals running from my D.I. box and have a 200 watt bass full stack for live shows.
Anything else?
My CD, I'm not a bass player, but i play one on TV, has been started and has a target date release of summer 2004.
