I am 26 and I have been playing bass for 10 years. I am a college graduate and a weekend music warrior! Aside from some starter lessons from friends, I am mostly self-taught. I love all kinds of music and my most secret passion is heavy metal two-handed tapping. Not that I am any good at it, it just gives me warm fuzzies. I am in two bands right now Dead Letter Office and MCP(Male Chauvinist Pigs. http://www.mcpigs.20m.com/

Korean Fender P-Bass Fretless 4-string, Carvin LB76 6-string, and a BSX Elect Upright. I also own a Takemine acoust/electric, a Korean Fender Strat, and some harmonicas.
