Thanks for visiting my home page! Sean D. Benedik here at your service. I've been raising rooves with wicked grooves for twelve years now and I won't stop till all the dishes in the house are BROKEN! From Dub to Disco; from Pop to Be-Bop; from Rock to head dippin', backbone slidin', hip shakin' Funk, it's all JAZZ to me! So as the master Rasta says: "Hit me with music"

Pure Bass with No FX; 100% Organic Fundamentals I LOVE my Carvin six-string fretless and my original '63 Jazz Bass. I pipe my axes through an ORIGINAL 1965 Ampeg B-15 Portaflex head into an SWR Workingman 160 (used as a hi-fi preamp) into a Trace Elliot PPA1200 (2-channels, 600W each into 2 ohms). Cabs? One Peavey 410TX (4x10 w/tweeter) and an AMPEG cab w/ 15" JBL speaker. I use a SansAmp Bass Driver DI for the studio and most live situations. Besides playing jazz and funk I play and sing a little in a rock/progressive funk group called DYNAMO SUN with my buds Phil, Dave and Chris. I record EVERY jam on my Sony MZ-N10 MiniDisc recorder. If you want to play better, RECORD what you play! My main axes these days are my two Kit-Built Carvin BK4s.
