Hello everyone, my name's Paul and I've been "spanking the plank" for nigh on 25 years. I've even been known to occasionally pick up a bass guitar!
I currently play in a corporate/function band doing 70's funk & disco type stuff but in between gigs I play with a local rock tribute band doing Ozzy, Rush, Van Halen tunes etc. Gearwise, I use a 1990 Warwick Thumb, Steinberger XL2A and Q4, Musicman Stingrays (fretted and fretless), Ibanez Roadstar (my first bass), a custom bass from a local luthier that looks a bit Musicman/Laklandish, a homebuilt fretless, and a modified acoustic. Amps for the rock gigs is an Ampeg SVT with an 8x10, and for the posh gigs that don't require balls out volume it's a Markbass combo to go through the p.a. I don't use many effects, occasionally a spot of subtle chorus, compression, and a little reverb but not always at the same time!
