Play it like you mean it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I play upright bass. I have played in many bands, have spent countless hours practicing till my fingers bleed. Have cracked fingers, broken my back, and many more things in the name of love. People come and go, but your art wont. Do your art with passion, let it be the soul expression of your hurt, anger, hate, sadness, love!!!! Its your voice, learn it, practice it, DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

My Interests

Upright Bass, Art, Dark Art, Music, Composing, Music Theory, Sharing my knowlege.

I'd like to meet:

Stanley Clarke, Willie Dixon, Les Claypool, Dan Adraino, Kim Kix, Pete Gorilla, Flea, more to be named when I have time. Anyone that loves and enjoys music, and the sweet tones and melody of an upright bass.This Profile is used for friends and the main purpose of getting in contact with people that would like to learn the art form of Slap Bass. This site is not used for meeting people for dates, hooking up or anything like that, I am to busy, not interested, and just want to be alone with friends, music, my upright bass, and myself. Thanks.
