I'm 49 years old married with 2 kids. I have been playing Bass since I was 18. Have been in numerous fun, but unknown bands in my area (Ballarat - near Melbourne - Oz).
Until recently I played in a Pink Floyd tribute band called "Think Floyd" we started rehearsals in 2006 and commenced gigs in early 2007.
I also play in a covers band called "Tripodium" with the guitarist and drummer from Think Floyd.
It is a bit hard to list musical influences and favourite recordings but I have put some down (they tend to change depending on the mood)

No.1 - My Daughters Short Scale Fretted
No.2 - My Long Scale Fretless

No 3 - My Refinished Yamaha

No 4 - A 5 string that I knocked together from bits that I have recently given to a young guy who is learning

No 5 - A 5 string based on a B C Rich Mockingbird.
No 6 - Unlined all Maple Fretless - My Favourite
