PUNK RAWK!

My Little Slice of Suburbia

Well I finally moved and I now in live in Columbia, SC. I'm going to USC for broadcast journalism and looking to rock out in various bands. My favorite type of music to listen to/play is punk/ska or skacore, whatever you want to call it.

Mmmm...bass

Anyways, I started playing bass when I was 14 (I'm 19 now) and I still love it. I play mainly punk/ska/hardcore music.

Yeah that's me. It's not a great pic but it could be a lot worse.

And finally my latest acquisition, my Mesa Boogie Road Ready Powerhouse Jr 4x8 with a 12 in the middle along with my rack box and the Avatar 4x10 I used to own.

I've lately changed out a lot of gear but I don't have the time to update my whole homepage right now, maybe in a month or so. My bass gear as of right now is my Fender Jazz bass with gotoh bridge, schaller tuners, and seymour duncan 1/4 lber pickups. My newest and only other bass is an Ibanez RKB which is an amazing bass, especially for what I paid. My rack box remains the same and I still have the Mesa cab but I also added a Hartke Transporter 1x15 and Transporter 2x10 cabs which sound amazing and are very portable.
