About
Hello and thank you so much for checking out my profile. My name is Bob. I have been playing bass for 42 years now and have always been in a Rock band. Started on cello in the 4th grade and stopped 10 years later. Started up again a few years ago but haven't been playing it much lately. Played sax and oboe in high school but haven't played those instruments since then. I am currently in a Classic Rock band but we are on hold due to the COVID19 lockdown. Thanks to Bandhug I'm able to keep my fingers warm on the bass and to colaborate with all you wonderful musicians around the globe.I play a 1982 Rickenbacker 4001. It has a hipshot that drops the E string to a D.
My other bass is a 5 string Schecter Stiletto Custom-5 I bought new in 2007. I added the pick guard myself.
I enjoy listening (and playing bass to) progressive rock bands like Yes, Rush, Genesis, ELP etc. and will playing anything Rock. I also enjoy playing bass to jazz, fusion, blues, country, folk, musicals, themes, and music from any country that has bass guitar in it. I'll do anything simple to anything challenging. The only thing in the world I don't play is Rap and Hip Hop.
Drop me an invite and I'll see what I can do. ;-)
~~ Bob
