Band Members: Just me on guitars, basses, keyboards, sitar. Mainly I play ebow guitar using an old Gibson Les Paul Standard. Then I am very deeply in love with acoustic guitars. I use many but my main one is a J-200 elite. Also love a 12-strings Guild that was made on june 1st, 1976. Magic in there. Then I use an old Fender Jazz Bass and a fltatwound stringed Rickenbacker 4001cs from 1963. But always open to new adventures.
Please see Franz Soprani's videoclip for Northern Heavens in my Video Area.
I Played Guitar on a track of the new NOSESOUL album, out now!
