About Me

I have been playing guitar and bass for about 20 years, self taught, and been in quite a few bands, the last one AFTERMATH, which I played bass in, was definitely the best. Before Aftermath, I was a studio bassist at a music studio in Brown City Mi. There I was playing everything from country music (didn't enjoy that much) to oldies to metal. I play Ibanez Guitars & Basses, Schecter Guitars, Line 6 amps. The song(s) on here are very rough right now, but when I get them perfected, I will replace them. plain layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentsPlaying bass for Wake Of Destruction at The Machine Shop
