Hey guys,
I play bass too. Have been for about 16 years (Wow! since middle school!). Anyway, what're your stories? Play a lot/little? What kind of gear do you have? Influences? Current gigs?
Just curious!

Let's see...

I started playing bass around 1986. I started out with an inexpensive Fender and eventually ended up with a very nice Carvin (their neck-thru body basses are some of the sweetest I've ever played!) As for amps, I always used some kind of Peavey. Then around 1992 I sold all of my equipment to help pay for college. I always sang backup vocals as a bassist so making the jump to lead vocalist came pretty natural. Besides...the only equipment you need to be a vocalist is a nice microphone, a strategically placed rolled-up sock, and a pair of assless leather pants (Van Halen and David Lee Roth fans will get the joke)! Did that for a few years and eventually gave it all up after my band's demos went nowhere. I've thought about getting back into music but I'm just not sure I have the time anymore.
