Setup/Gear/Manufacturer of Instruments:

Ibanez SDGR Bass
Kustom Amp for performence. Line 6 for practice and smaller gigs
Kay/Engelhardt Kay C-1 Upright bass.

Why did you begin studying music?

I began studying for the simple fact that it intrigued me. I had the equipment and one day I saw a Jimi Hendrix video and I went from there. I bugged my mom for lessons on bass then quit that. Trumpet was my first instrument but bass is my passion.
