TigerPhoenix Posted November 16 Posted November 16 (edited) 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 Edited November 16 by TigerPhoenix 4 Quote
