About me my name is Toby and I have been playing bass for about 2 years now. I currently play bass in a band called VERTIGO (based in the UK) and you can see/hear us on our web site vertigomusic There is an insight to the band and downloads of the music. There is also a list of forth coming gigs. We are just about to start a deal with Tower records here in Southampton (England) where we will play a live gig in the shop itself and then they will distribute our album and our forth coming EP for us. This hopefully will give us a foot in the door, but who knows ??. We have just played the southern regional battle of the bands and we won recording time with Polydor records and an independant record label. It looks like all our hard work is starting to pay off. Any comments drop me a mail here on AB or at home on t11uk@yahoo.co.uk, Hope you enjoy

The below picture was taken from a recent gig we played at a popular venue in Southampton, England. The huge amp you can see on the right is my beloved Trace Elliot 1210 combo. She is a beast packing all of 300watts though a 4x10 cab. This rig can handle most sized venues with ease
