Who?

Hi,welcome to my little corner of the Active Bass World. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

I'm a bassist from the UK mainly playing six string ( although I also use an Ashbory frequently which I'm in love with. If you ever see one of these things for sale - try it out!)My main gigs these days are at the jazzier end of things,although I also play occasional soul and commercial gigs. For up to date news, please visit my web site.

Equipment

Wahburn MB6 six string bass ( battered but irreplacable); DeArmond Ashbory bass;fretted and fretless Aria four strings;Hartke 3500 amp;Ashdown 2x10 cab;assorted effects & toys
