Right away I want to get this point across: I DO NOT PLAY BASS! I PLAY GUITAR! I am trying to get something going, and I want to use this site to connect with some bass players.

If this profile looks interesting, then EMAIL me at jaketaz@charter.net, cuz I hardly ever come to this site.

I like surfin', singin', snowboardin', chillin', running and a whole buncha other junk. Music is what I like more than anything else (except maybe my girlfriend), and sometimes it feels like music is the only reason that I continue to go on living. I like meeting new people, and I hate tone-deaf, flaky, non-dedicated musicians. One of my biggest advantages is that I hate shredding, and I know a lot of music theory. I am 19 and live in Santa Cruz, CA but I may relocate soon to study music at a four-year university.

I am not a "guitarhead". I can sing lead or backing vocals, play keys, make electronic beats, find my way around a bass and even play a little percussion. I can also write and read music.
