New...but not Green.
« on: February 14, 2011, 02:06:58 PM »
Hi, I'm a Canadian Bassist of about 30 years now...I've worked with quite a few medium to larger acts here. I've toured internationally, but mostly Canada and the US.

I have 3 basses (at present), all modified to the hilt, I do my own work...and they never seem to be quite done - hahaha

My rig is pretty decent, mostly custom made...it's nickname is The Fridge.

I look forward to becoming a part of the TB community, meeting fellow bassists, and very willing to share any knowledge I can you with...simply ask.

*buys everyone here their drink of choice, and springs for pizza*
