I Definitely Play "other"...

Love many kinds of music, and play a mix of rock, funk, blues, spacey, and odd. I like different time signatures when it makes sense, sounds good, and taste to use them. Not for the sake of using a different 'time'. Also play guitar out of necessity for the home recording I do.

Currently use a Raven 6 string bass, an Ibanez 6 string bass, a Hohner 5 string knock off of a Steinberger, and 2 Carvin Bolt Kit guitars, one a hard-tail, the other with a Vibrato. Love them all.

And I play bass lefty strung lefty, and guitar lefty strung righty. Somehow, it all works out.
