Bass: Instrument, Tonal Range... or Fish???

About Me

Dear about me,Please tell all of the myspace users that I I'm in love with this girl named Carla, I play (or try to anyway) bass, I Mountain Bike, and am trying to keep a band together. Please also let them know I'm romantic outgoing and am full of compassion and... oh yeah can be a huge jackass too (I'm working on that though)... Anyway I work at Tri-County Truss and that kicks ass. I'm not stooopid so don't treat me like I am. I like to read instead of watching T.V. and I am very strong on my beliefs. To reach success and change music is the name of the game and I WILL be famous, I WILL be on the cover of bass guitar magazines, and I WILL be a legend. Yeah the whole "I'm gonna be famous" line is too easy and obtainable for me... I don't care about lots of money, I don't care about status, I don't want 15 minutes... I want the WHOLE GODDAMN FUTURE!!! So I will continue preparing and working my ass off to get there. Yeah you don't believe me but let's see who's where within the next decade.a

My Interests

Bass, Bikes, My Baby... Beer???

I'd like to meet:

Well... Now that the whole Hilary Duff thing's more overused than diplomatic immunity... I guess there's really only one person left... but I won't tell ya heh heh hehhhhhh... But howsabout a wacked out story instead? NO? Well too bad here goes... There once was a duck named lou... he was a happy duck and married a gutterslut named penny whom coined out crack babies like change for a dollar (hence the name)... well each duckling was worth their wieght in crack and nonetheless contributed to the societal monotany like a Taoist aristocracy in the fashion that depletes the point of their existance whatsoever... Their contributions, however, go noticed for they have nickeled and dimed their way to the successful pinnacle of pro-creation (or lack therof... mmm actually a cruel irony...)in which I mean no pun whatsoever when I say... that... they have been molded and fabricated past the crosshairs of life and into my pillows, mom's stew, and right in front of you (if you hunt). Each body eminating the disturbing intolerance and redneck retrospect that food... should indeed be caught. Perhaps it's that primitive drive that motivates it or perhaps it's just the rendition that lou was a happy duck... ... and married a gutterslut. WOW... The morals gained! You are now a more knowledgeable better person.

Music:

I am honestly open to anything with good musicianship or a phat beat (like Kidz Bop). I love and hate every style equally. Well let's see, I'll give you a few of my favorite bands or artists.Infectious Grooves, The Union Underground, Rage Against The Machine, Godsmack, Powerman 5000, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disturbed, Drowning Pool, PANTERA, Megadeth, Blind Guardian, Dream Theatre, Alice In Chains, Social D., Bad Religion, Victor Wooten (Also in Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), Bootsy Collins- baby!!! (Parlaiment and Rubber band years especially) Nirvana (overplayed and overglorified) ICP (That's right, I'm a Juggalo baby), At the drive in, Bloodhound Gang, Mudvayne, Beck, Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn (and of course Double Trouble), Jimi Hendrix, John Cleary and the absolute monster gentleman, Muse, Talking Heads, 3- doors down, Basically any Funk, blues, jazz, Rock, alternative, classic rock, and some death metal, country, pop, latin, classical, etc I'm kidzboppin my way to the top.
With which great bass player do you most identify?
Les Claypool
From his days with Primus, Les Claypool has been the leader of monster bass playing for two decades. His incredible riffs and slap technique have elevated his name as one of the greatest.

Movies:

I enjoy making them more than watching them: Lord of the Rings I,II,III, Matrix Trilogy, Life is Beautiful, V for Vendetta, The Pianist, House of a 1000 corpses, Say it Isn't So, any comedy, some action, Wanes World I,II, all SHAFT movies, etc. Disorder/Superheroes MTB series...And who would I be to forget the greatest independent film and possibly the best, most brilliant, masterpiece of a movie of all time... "Cannibal The Musical"

Television:

I don't watch much 'cause I've got a life but... Comedy Central, OLN, never seen a reality show, never will...... and Orwell's tale... a terror ever coming true...

Books:

Colin Angus is the man!!! (crazy extreme rafter dude/adventurer/author/record breaker/pioneer) Dan Brown, Agatha Christie, Edgar Allen Poe, Orwell, etc.

Heroes:

First off, is my father... who has always been there for me and who I try to be like in almost every way knowing I can never be as good a man as he... Next, Bootsy Collins, Victor Wooten, Flea, Josh Bender, Peter Jackson (Lord Of The Rings director) and of course my band mates/family Pat Moody and Brad Hendrix... not to mention Les Claypool, Buckethead, or any master of an instrument or a bike...
