Bass Ghost

Hand me my sentence,I'll show no repentance, I'll suffer with pride

About Me

I Play the bass, I'm not your CONVENTIONAL bass player, I get more creative and innovative on my instrument. I Search different ways to express myself on the bass than the average musician. I express myself through my bass playing, I speak through my bass not words. When people ask me, out loud, how I'm doing or how I'm feeling I wish I could just pick up my bass and just play for a little bit and then just walk away. I hardly ever speak, I'm a quiet introvertive person. My bass is my diary, it is the only thing that truly understands( besides my daughter the only girl that matters) me and accepts me without prejudice. My BASS is my religion, so to speak. It is what I worship and respect. The key ingredient for me, is being as creative as I can without overflowing the groove and being innovative effortlessy and smoothly, without anyone even noticing. Like a ninja (bass invader) who has gone to point A from Point B in the most unique way that the only people that notice are dead, dead to the fact that they don't know what to say or whats going on cause there to busy digging the whole groove of the music which has been created.. or should I say executed by the bassinvader with his bass saber.I am here to create and I do that with every bass I lay my hands on.WEAPON OF CHOICE: Michael Tobias Design Kingston 5 string fretless bass with black nylon taper strings, Limited Edition American Fender Jazz 4 string fretted bass, Dean acoustic 5 string acoustic/electric bass, Electric Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer, Big Muff, Bass Balls, Boss bass overdrive , Vintage Morley Phaser/Wah pedal (very cool!),Hao Rust Driver, old ass Randall bass amplifier, 2x10 Aguilar cab, 1x15 beringer cab, SWR 1x15 combo amp, Portable Pignose Hog 30 for bass

My Interests

Anything to do with the Bass, LOVE, LIFE, AND LAUGHTER! because I am the last of the "bassinvaders", its kinda like the jedi knights but instead of lightsabers you use basssabers ( an actual bass guitar well do). Music, we bassinvaders live for music whether it be bass solow acts or in a band setting we will play any where any time nothing can stop the power of the bass in your face!
