How long have you been playing bass?
11 years
Do you play any other instruments?
percussion instruments like congas, bjembes, etc.
If any, what special recognitions/awards have you received?
I won the 1999 Slammie for best bassist
Influences:
My bandmates. Flea is one of my faves, and Jaco is a legend
Which local bands (other than your own) would you recommend?
Al Is Well, Nonpoint, Idol Minds, Darwin's Waiting Room,
Groovenics, Gonemad, and there are more believe me,
there are more
We don't know much about this instrument so what kind of equipment do you use (we're talking musical here, brand names, types...)?
Well I play strictly 4-string and strictly Ernie Ball Musicman
basses. Right now I play through a Trace Elliot rig, but since
Musicman has started making rigs I think I'll switch to that when
I get the flow for it. I also use two pedals: acrybaby bass wah
and a Danelectro Fabtone guitar distortion pedal.
Anything you would care to add:
For all you aspiring musicians out there. If you love something,
be persistent. This is a tough business and you have to remain
focused. Whether it's just a hobby or a career choice.... keep
rockin. You can only get better with time, and remember:
You can't become a bass god overnight! (unless, of
course you're Jaco Pastorius) : )
