SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Steel guitar.ABOUT
I am a primarily bass guitar player with 10 years of experience, Age 27. In that time I have played on over 5 records and done somewhere between 50-100 live shows at this time. I am looking to join a band committed to playing live shows and eventually recording. My preferred genre is rock, punk, heavy metal, however I am open to playing other genres as well, primarily I just want to play bass in a melodic style. I would prefer to play with others around my age, however as with genre this is not a dealbreaker.
My work schedule leaves me free on nights during the weekday and free all day on the weekends, so I am available to practice and gig when need be

Influences
My primary influences for bass are Paul McCartney, John Entwistle, Cliff Burton, Chris Murphy and Yasushi Ishii.
Geddy Lee and Geezer Butler are more minor influences.
Due to my influences, I like playing bass in a melodic style, contributing melodies on bass rather than just simple root note playing. I also like playing bass with a wah pedal to get lead tones
