Band to Join.ABOUT
If you're looking for a bassist, do give me a shout (correct the spelling): --==> Dekker500 at h0t mail dot com <==--
I'm pretty open when it comes to styles of music, and I'm willing to experiment with different styles (more than the conservative ones listed). Actually, I've been experimenting with harder/grittier sounds. Think Metric meets Tea Party meets Skrillex.

EQUIPMENT
I play a 4-string Washburn Taurus through a Carvin BX1500 and a fEARful 15/6/1. Plenty-o-thump for larger venues, but modular for small gigs if need be and works well in small enclosed spaces as well. 250W Roland DB-700 bass amp as backup. Also use a combination of ZOOM B9.1ut, Source Audio hot-hand, bass effects filter, and bass distortion to shape the sound.
And yes, I have my own transportation.
