hello i've ben in field playing bass for over 30 yrs.mainly 23 yrs of that time worked with a top forty country band here in tx where i reside.other time master plumber for my other trade.Svy ampeg pro 4 with a gk 800 amps is what i run in one rack.have aby ab fs to toggle between country and rock sound.diminsiomn 5 string and a Fender deluxe jazz bass natural body has been my rig for about 2 years now. i have 1 4-10 gk and ampeg cab with 1 15 gk and ampeg.sounds like overkill. but the different venues i play at lets me have a great sound at that engagement but still work with sound men of different companys quite well.im not sure what else to say. i lot of my influences were, paul mccartney,jaco pastious,chris squire from yes (rip) gene simmoms of kiss, i lot of glesondos,depending on where they need to go. of coaures les is more nice an tasty. thank you
