The Bass Place

Hey All,

I play Fender American Deluxe Jazz V, an Ibanez SR506 6 String, upright bass and piano.

I play through an Ampeg SVT3Pro and Classic 4x10 cab, or a GK 1x12 Combo, and use Boss effects (Chorus, Overdrive, Flanger, Octaver, Delay) and a Dunlop Crybaby 105Q Bass Wah.

I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Integrative Music Sciences, as well as a College degree in Music, and another in Popular Music (Jazz Composition & Arranging).

I come from a small country town in southern Quebec, near the US border, but live in Toronto, and play in Paint, as well as Shortwave, and the Megacity Jazz BigBand.

Influences : Mike Patton, Frank Zappa, Nuclear Rabbit, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Primus, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Jamiroquai, The Beatles, Yes, Rush, Weird Al Yankovic, Tower of Power, Level 42, Medeski Martin & Wood, John Frusciante, Andy McKee, Michael Manring
