JIMMY'S...A PLACE FOR BASS (and nachos)

Hola, mi vatos!

"I ain't no musical genius... but I sure do love to beat that wood!" I like to lay 'em down with my 5-string Yamaha RBX765A. I use a 200 watt, 15" Yorkville combo. On the lighter side, I use an acoustic-electric 4-string Fender BG-29. When the time's right, I'm gettin' a Warwick 5- or 6-string and adding a 2-10" cab to the 15" combo. I also play an 8-piece Pearl drumset with 6 beautiful Zildjian cymbals!

Do you know him?

I'm really a drummer by trade, and fell into the bass by default (I had had a couple piano lessons, and Aaron had a kit) when our band was lacking in the low-end department -- my fate was sealed! So who is this 'Aaron' character anyway? Well, some say he's a mystical figure, a part of the subconscience, who makes himself known to only a few select players. And he has... But more importantly, he lives at the core of my syncopated psyche. It's all relative, you see...

Musical Influences

  • Aaron's deep-cuttin' funk that helps me explore, expand, and explode into those grooves!
  • 80's Rock/Power Ballads, Dave Matthews, Audio Adrenaline, DC Talk,
  • Third Day, Creed, Pink Floyd, and just about anything but country!
