BASS !

About Me

Welcome
My name is Tom Lewis
I'm 19 and I'm a music enthusiast !
Thank you for coming to visit my page really appreciate anyone taking out there time to listen to my music and see what I'm about.
I've been influenced by all sorts but I mainly listen to and play rock , jazz , trip hop and electronic music. I am a real MUSO so I try not to pin myself down into genres - it's all about variety !
I'm a bass player first and foremost have been for may years , but I also play guitar and keyboards / piano ( and drums .... badly might I add ).
I play bass for The Carmen Pimps and I have regular jam sessions with my friends.
I play Aria IGB and OLP MM basses , I use ashdown amplification and I also have a reasonable selection of effects pedals that I enjoy tinkering with.
The tracks on this page don't really show you what me and my tesco value studio are capable of , so don't take anything on here by no means as my BEST work.
Please please check out my friends pages they are all nice people with awesome tunes ! promisse it's worth your while !
Tom
