About Me

-Bass Guitar?

I started bass in 2001. I was going to my first gig (Jamiroquai @ Brussels) and I discovered the growl of Nick Fyffe's bass, then I listened 100times the Zender area albums and I decided to buy a bass guitar! I got a Cort Action Bass, then I bought a Warwick Streamer Standard 5strings(my wife, I call her Caroline), and a Japanese Squier Jazz bass Fretless from the early 80s. I dicovered then the ERB and had a 6 strings Hohner BBass with benedetti pickups, It rocked! But I was too unexperienced, so I sold it to buy a Dean Rhapsody 8strings that I use for fun (so good with a light crunch in trio !).

-What I own :

Squier Jazz Bass Fretless (with DImarzio Pickups and Gotoh Bridge)
A Custom Pbass (converted from a 4 to a 5 strings, see the photos !
LKah Murene 5 strings tunes E to C, with a hipshot tremolo, and I MADE IT !!!

Vantage VSH 455 archtop

Edirol PCR-M30 keyboard

-My Recordings :

Here are my lastest recordings (from 2004 to now). I usually record everything myself, programming drums with Groove Agent :)
