Thanks for visiting my home page! Sean D. Benedik here at your service. I've been raising rooves with wicked grooves for 22 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"

I LOVE my Carvin six-string thru-neck fretless and my two Carvin Kit basses (walnut 4-string fretless, koa 4-string fretted). At home I pipe my axes through an ORIGINAL 1965 Ampeg B-15 Portaflex head into an SWR Workingman 160 (used as a hi-fi preamp) and Ampeg cab w/ 15" JBL Speaker. In the jam room I run an Eden Time Traveller through a Peavey 410TX (4x10 w/tweeter). I record EVERY jam on my Zoom H2 SD-card 24-bit wav recorder. If you want to play better, RECORD what you play!



My main axes these days are my two Kit-Built Carvin BK4s.
