I've been a bassist since I was 17 years old and now play professionally in at least 4 groups, in addition to doing studio/session work. I also was offered an endorsement in 2008 with Lakland Basses out of Chicago, IL and play those basses exclusively (4-string, 5-string, 5-string fretless). I also play double bass as well. I'm mainly a jazz/fusion guy, but play most any style. I love being able to craft lines in any style and bring that one special feel or idea to the table that totally makes everything click. After all... we bassists are the bridge between melody, harmony, and rhythm.... we have lots of power!
