Biography

I started playing in 1983.

I originally was going to play keyboards but the band that I was joning asked me if I would play bass instead. At the time I did't know what a bass guitar was but I duely went to Amen Corner (a music shop near Bracknell) and bought a bass.

The guitar was a Harmony short scale bass (I don't know anything else about it, but I will post a picture of it soon) which I still have to this day.

I have been playing bass ever since (except for a short break in the early nieties when I tried my hand at 6 string guitar).

I currrently play a Rickenbacker 4003 Blueburst, it was made in March 2007 and is the absolute bees knees! I only ever use it in vintage mode because I love the 4001 sound. I also use a modified Fender Precission which is strung B-E-A-D.
