Doghouse Dave

I'm a double bass player hailing from Melbourne Australia,the home of roots music in Australia without a peer in any of the other states.I've been playing bass around the country since I was 19 or so. I have 3 double basses,(the gold one with the cats eye F-holes in my pics is pretty rare apparently)a Yamaha SLB200 stick bass(which is part of my Yamaha endorsement),a Hofner Chinese Double Bass that works fine after I set it up a 1968 Fender Telecaster Bass and a custom made Stewart Male '54 Precision type bass. My main band is The Detonators we tour heaps and do original roots rock n roll and blues type stuff,my other band is Gatorbait we do stripped roots original country stuff without a drummer,I keep rhythm on the slap bass just like early Johnny Cash,Hank Williams etc. I have filled in and toured with a few bands-heres a bit of a list,Red Rivers and The Rockettones,The Toe-Sucking Cowgirls,The Flat Foot Shakers,Johnny Grey,Itchy Fingers,The Flying Tigers,Atomic Hi-Tones,Sleepy La Beef (USA)some terrible Elvis impersonator whose name escapes me,Headbelly Buzzard,Grantley Dee,Matt Dwyer and The Magnatones.......I cant remember all of them so I'll have to add them on as I remember! I've recorded 5 Cd's with The Detonators,two with Gatorbait and an album with country singer Billy Bridge. .. --> --> Copied from MySpace.com --> Find me on MySpace and be my friend!
