Me with My first P bass, just months after getting it!
The Sonic Enigma
I am a Son, I am a Brother, I am a Boyfriend, I am a Student, I am Alive, but Most of All, I am a Bassist.
I am 21 Years old, from central pennsylvania. I've played in a modern rock cover band, High School Jazz Band (For a year, didn't get much out of it.), I taught myself to play the bass. I've had the help of other musicians and text, but everything I know I've applied myself. I play the 4 and 5 string basses.
To this day, I still can't put my finger on the pulse of musical tastes. One moment, I'll be listening to Metallica, and another I'll be getting in to a jam band. the constant undercurrent is always a good bass player is in the bands I listen to. I open my arms and my mind to anyone who loves the bass and makes any attempt at improving.
Other than the Bass
Other than playing the bass, i've got a few interests that occupy my time.
Mixed Martial Arts - I Love watching the UFC and other Mixed Martial Arts Events.
Comic Books - I've always had a flare for comics, and by reading comics it has really helped cultivate my creativity.
Music History - I like to think of myself as an amateur modern rock historian. Remembering Names and Events of Modern Rock comes really easy to me.
