I started playing bass when I was twelve, on a 25 watt Peavey amp and Korean made guitar (both of which I still own, and use). I'm now 18, and enjoy a wide variety of music, everything from Jazz, to Latin, to Old School Funk/R & B, and real alternative rock (not the "alternative rock" that you see on MTV).

My main bass is an original 1975 Fender Jazz Bass (I have to take a moment and brag about the headpiece of my collection). Also, if I'm feeling in the mood, I use a Dean 6-String Fretless. I run this through a Hartke 3500 head and a 4x10 cabinet. I also use a Behringer Preamp to give a boost to the low end. If needed, I use a Line 6 Bass Pod for effects.
