1.Why
Bass?
I've been playing bass for a while, started
with guitar. I picked up during a few jam sessions with friends and one day
about 15 years ago a band I knew needed a bass player so went out and bought
one and joined the band.
2.Do you
think it is unfair or just lack of knowledge bass gets so little credit?
I think
bass is more important than some give credit as it is more important to be a
solid rhythmic instrument with bass and not just melodical to keep the backbone
of the beat going along with the drums.
3.What
kind of bass do you use? Model , color , year , And why
Black
Schecter Diamond Damien Series. Why? It's decently priced, has a solid sound,
and I was sold on the bat inlays as well.
4.Tell us
about your amplification
I run into
and Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal and a Fender Rumble 200 into an Avatar 2x12 cab.
On occasion I use a Sans Amp Bass DI as well. Simple setup but packs the right
amount of punch.
5. With
all of that being said do you feel tone is an important thing for bass?
Of course!
Tone is always important, it defines your bands sound.
6.Do you
prefer 5 strings over 4 string?
Depends on
what style and what the guitarist is using. Usually I'll go for a 4 though.
7.Who is
your favorite bassist?
Les
Claypool
8. Who is
your least favorite bassist?
Don't have
one.
9.Why do
you think women seem to be attracted to playing bass?
I can't
really answer that, I know more women who play guitar instead of bass.
10. What
bassist dead or alive would you like a private lesson with?
I'm open
to jam with anyone. Preferably alive, a corpse seems like I'd have the unfair
advantage and probably wouldn't keep up with anything I'm playing.
11. Bonus
question
Bobby Doll
, Nikki Sixx , Les Claypool , Billy Sheehan
which is more ridiculous and why
Not sure
how to answer because ridiculous can mean many things.
