Quote: "Amazing! the best bass player on youtube for Beatles songs!" Francesco "Rickinroma" Musicista e più precisamente bassista, di Roma, ha iniziato l'approccio verso il basso elettrico nel lontano 1981 passando nel corso degli anni attraverso numerose esperienze musicali in Band con sfumature diverse nell'ambito del pop e del rock, senza tralasciare le proprie influenze e gusti orientati verso un certo tipo di musica che partendo dalla fine degli anni 50, trova il punto focale negli anni 60, fino ad arrivare ai primi anni 70. Fondamentali sono state le sonorità di gruppi come The Beatles e Paul McCartney (massima influenza come musicista e soprattutto bassista) da solista o con gli Wings, The Who, The Byrds, YES, Buffalo Springfield, Beach Boys, Small Faces, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Procol Harum, PFM, Badfinger, Simon and Garfunkel, Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kinks, etc. Collabora attivamente con lo staff di Megabass, la più grande community in Italia per i bassisti ed il basso elettrico. Attualmente milita in una band del circuito romano: - The Smash , cover band di Rock classico Musician, more precisely bass player, from Rome Italy, started his approach to bass guitar back in 1981, going through numerous musical experiences spent in several bands along the years, even with different undertones in the pop and rock field, but always taking into the account his personal influences and tastes biased towards a certain kind of music starting from late '50s, through its focal point in the '60s, until early '70s. Basic and central have been the sounds of bands and artists such as The Beatles and Paul McCartney (major influence as musician and expecially as bass player) both soloist and with Wings, The Who, The Byrds, YES, Buffalo Springfield, Beach Boys, Small Faces, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Procol Harum, PFM, Badfinger, Simon and Garfunkel, Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kinks, etc. Contributes to Megabass, the largest Bass players and electric bass Community in Italy He currently plays in a band mostly active in the Rome city and surrounding area: - The Smash , Rock classic cover band Equipment: Basses: - Hofner 500/1 (1965 - yes the same violin shaped one, used in the Beatles and as soloist by Paul McCartney) - Rickenbacker 4005 Mapleglo (1967) - Rickenbacker 4001C64S Mapleglo (2006) - Rickenbacker 4001V63 Fireglo (1997) - Rickenbacker 4003 Blue Boy (2004) - Fender Jazz Bass RE62 Fiesta Red Guitars: - Rickenbacker 365 Fireglo (1967) - Rickenbacker 330/12 corde Fireglo (1966) Amplification: - Vox Super Foundation Bass head (1966) - Vox Super Foundation Bass cabinet 1x18' - Vox Foundation Bass cabinet 2x12'' - Ashdown ABM C-115 300 - Vox AC30 Super Twin (1965)
