MSL Bass & Sound

Thanks for stopping by my page. I created this profile, initially, as a music resource. I maintain this profile for listing various projects, performance, recordings, and generally to immerse myself in music that otherwise would never be heard of. I have been possessed, obsessed and controlled by music for as long as I can remember. I dig music that no one else usually does. I do enjoy some commercial type bands, but for the most part, my tastes lie where no one else’s do. I play bass primarily. I do write some things with guitar, but I don’t play it very often. Bass is clearly an obsession to me. To the point that I don’t hear words or singing in most songs (there are some exceptions) I dig all the gear manufacturers and Luthiers that are on Myspace. I have found this as an amazing resource for all facets of music, both performing and listening. However it has also been a useful tool in networking, and quickly updated friends on vacations, gigs –parties, whatever is going on in all of our friends’ lives. My family is fantastic. My wife is the most patient, and supportive partner I could have ever hoped for. It takes a special person to be able to put up with me. I wouldn’t say I’m a “work-a holic” but I really like to be busy. And on the opposite side of the coin, when I relax I do nothing at all. With me it’s all or nothing. I’ve worked in the Wood testing industry for 11 years now, and still (somewhat) enjoy my job. I hunt and fish as much as possible. Lately it has fallen by the wayside a tad, but I am hopeful that I will do more of both this year. We are in the process of (finally) building a new house in Little fall creek. I should have some pics up once we break ground. I am at my happiest surrounded by BBQ’s and a cooler of brew. I thoroughly enjoy cooking. Whether it’s for my family, or a party of 60 – I’ve always loved the job. My kids are great. Not much can be expected of teenagers, but they are exceptional and far surpass myself at their age (with the exception of work, that is) They will do great in life, and I’m happy everyday I get to spend with them. Time is flying, and they grow by the minute, so I do appreciate all the things that make them different, and unique in their own right. I will reaaaallly miss them when they leave the nest....who says they have to leave, anyway? Hahahaa, not me.Of all the things I enjoy doing, playing music is always at the top (family not included -- hobbies). I love hunting and fishing, doing big construction projects, or even little ones. I rarely have time between all my hobbies and my family, but I go kinda nuts when I have too much down time. I also have a tendency to start 20 different things at once, never finishing the first one. I AM working on that!! I have a circle of friends that are real close to me, and keep adding new (er) ones all the time. I am genuinely appreciative of all I have, and have pretty much everything I need.
