Good evening bass enthusiasts, from Kyiv

[TigerPhoenix]

Hello everyone 

Hoping that you’re all ok.

 

I’m a bass player, composer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist.

 

In terms of bass; I was originally influenced by Mick Karn, Stanley Clarke, John Taylor, Jack Bruce, Mark King, John Entwhistle, Stuart Zender, Jaco Pastorious and many more.

 

I started playing music, aged 6. 
Piano. Then guitar aged 10, and moved to bass, aged 15.

 

First a GBP £50 Hondo, black Fender Precision copy.

 

Then I joined a band, and bought an Aria Pro II Fretless bass.

 

This was due to my love of Mick Karn’s playing.

 

I then became influenced by the British “White Funk” movement.

 

At this stage, I bought a Warwick bass, and Trace Elliot bass amp and cab.

 

I currently play an Aria Fretless bass, an Ibanez pearl white fretted bass, a violet Behringer warlock style bass, a blue Fender Precision copy, and an Australian acoustic bass.

 

I use a Trace Elliot amp, and a Peavey 17” cabinet.

 

I have many effects pedals. Mostly by Boss, but also a Cry Bany Wah pedal and a loop device, the Strymon Volante.

 

Other instruments include approximately 12 guitars, a banjo, A Moog Subsequent 37, Korg Minilogue 37, an Oxy 1 Mk2 Sequencer, Korg B2, Korg Nautilus Workstation, Pioneer XDJRR deck, various combo amps, including a Roland Jazz Chorus, Yamaha mini mixing console and 12” p.a. Loudspeakers, Behringer PA amp and graphic equaliser, MacBook Pro and more of the usual stuff.

 

I’m currently setting up a music therapy, for veterans, in Kyiv.
 

I’m very glad to have found this forum.

 

It would be really good, to chat with other bass enthusiasts and music creators.

 

Have a nice weekend,

Tiger
