TUNING KEYS Open-back traditional tuners
BRIDGE G&L Saddle Lock bridge, string-through-body configuration. Nickel plated die-cast saddles.

series/parallel mini-toggle, preamp control mini-toggle (off/on/on with high frequency EQ boost)
I USE EDEN AMPLIFICATION
NEMESIS RS SERIES
The new Nemesis RS Series takes the Nemesis brand to a whole new level. Since its inception, the Nemesis line has offered Eden tone and features in a more affordable package. Lighter weight and user-friendly features, combined with high power and killer tone make Nemesis the perfect choice for intermediate players, semi-professionals, even touring pros who appreciate a great value.
I USE DR STRINGS
LO-RIDER
Lo-Rider stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a hexagonal core. They provide more depth of tone, and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams. Bass players who are into slapping, popping, and tapping will love the high end and depth of Lo-Rider. The slight bit of stiffness makes Lo-Rider bass strings very accurate when playing harmonics. Great consistency, and great string-to-string balance are DR hallmarks.

I was raised all my life in an Assemblies of God ministers home. I have been around it all! I began singing at the age of 6, and learned a few other intruments along the way but latched onto the bass guitar at the age of 13. Been at it for a while now! 30 Years going strong. I have played a little bit of everything. I have cut my teeth on country/bluegrass and southern gospel. Along the way progressed to southern rock and modern rock and some metal believe it or not. Then when I relocated here to Kansas City picked up on the local flavors of the black gospel/r&b and funk to modern praise & worship. And then on to some of the more classical favorites around here I entered playing some blues stylings. I try to be as versatile as I possibly can. Making me available for just about any job thrown at me.

All things considered, I enjoy playing any music out there. But my main goal when playing is to be able to show the love of God in everything I play. I feel if I play to the best of my ability and leave nothing on stage. I have done just that. I don't want anyone to say that I didn't or wouldn't play any certain style. I am currently involved playing for a local artist here in Kansas City, his name is Lindsey Phillips.
You can check him out at his web site at: www.lindseyphillips.com He also has a myspace as well www.myspace.com/lindseyphillips2 I was raised all my life in an Assemblies of God ministers home. I have been I have been blessed with an awesome church home where I attend. I would like to thank first Senior Pastor Dennis Slavens for not only being straight forward and concise with his delivery of the Word Of God. But also bringing forth a relevant concept on the scripture in relation to today's living. Contact me at my main e-mail here:
