...If it aint got no groove, it aint no good music...

About Me


Just a bassplaying dutchman, enjoying music whenever he can. I've been playing for about 8 years now and been practising way not enough. So now it's time for me to really learn the instrument and get into harmonics.
I currently use:
Rikkers Bodyline 4
Warwick corvette std. 5
SWR Bass 350x
SWR Triad cabinet
EBS dynaverb and bassIQ
Akai headrush
and some other stuff
The Rikkers Bodeyline is my true love, custom build by one of the great luthiers in the netherlands. Sorry but I'm still working on some photo's. But here are some pics that were made during building:
Rikkers is a guitar/bass luthier in the netherlands, with their own models, which you can adjust to all your wishes. For me tha means a 4 str, with mahogany body (imbuia top), maple/ovangkol neck (ebony fb) and fully EMG equipt. All the stuff I wished for;-)

One upcoming show with my band P.I.G.:
25-5 "Farm-night" at Plug Unit, Reeuwijk with Poultry
I'll tell you this man... it was so friggin hot, like you would not believe. But we had a real good time. Poultry started the show and I was really impressed how they pulled tha shit together. It all seemed to fit tightly together and you could see dispite the intense heet that they had a good time on stage. Which I think is the most important factor of the gig, for yourself and for the crowd. If you're not having fun... the people definitly know. And besides man, I'll tell ya this we just had an awesome night where the beers where cold and more haz then one could smoke;-)
O, we played to ofcourse... I think it went okay, at least the reactions were good. And most important we had a fun time playing and jumping around. We lost a few pounds here and there so no gym for us anymore this year;-)
