About a year and a few months now, I dunno.
What model bass do you have?
- Fender 5-sting Mexican Jazz Bass
- Some old 4-string West model.
Preferred method of playing?
Pluckin'.
Personal Influences?
Not many... Either that or everything combined, I dunno... I like to keep it origional.
Favored Bassist/Idol Bassist?
I guess Victor Wooten.
Any thing you'd like to add (about the rules or anything at all?)?
Already said my stuff about the profanity thing being over-enforced.

How long have you been playing?
2 years
What model bass do you have?
fender squire p-bass
Preferred method of playing?
i perfer to use slapping techniques but in oreder to be a well rounded bass player you need to have the knowldge of all skills and techniques the ony think i don't do is use a pick i feel it slows me down
Personal Influences?
jon adams- the guy who got me into the instriment and taught me the basics (kyrenx reminds me alot of jon)
issac- one of jons friends he tauht me some tapping techniques and primus songs
george teabo- the leader of the first band i was in because of him i had to learn how to play in order not to hold anyone elses back (this band was offerd a contract but we couldn't sign because george went to college)
jon terell- the leader of the band i was most recently in he is fun to play with but tends to be a bit overzelos in his playing (i had to increase my speed and skill because of the materal we were playing)
ed massey- the best leader i ahve ever had in music he is very accomplished in his playing and his leadership is pefcet in puting everyone in the correct place for their abilities he taught me alot especally how to play with people
paul warren- the first formal lessons i have ever taken this guy is increadbly good and i know he is going to get me to the next level of playing that i want to be at
Favored Bassist/Idol Bassist?
victor wooten, paul warren, jon myung
