SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Been playing guitar for 25+ years and bass for 18 years.
Despite the many years experience, and the several gigs I played at, I have been away from the music scene for a few years. I am now seeking to join a band of friendly people who want to play at some gigs but, mostly, to have fun!
I don't want to be part of a band who is full of techincal masters. I'm humble and I only want to play stuff that is quite easy to listen to and not extremely techincal but sounds great!

Influences
Since I was a young child, I was a fan of BB King. My initial music influences were therefore blues and, sometimes, jazz.
Growing up I started listening and playing rock music and chill-out acoustic songs. My main rock influences are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Blink 182 (yep, I know, a bit teenagerish).
I do apreciate that there are people out there who are guitar masters (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc) but, despite them being amazing guitarists, their music does not inspire me as much.

EQUIPMENT
My current kit is made of an American Fender Stratocadter Pro, a 1965 re issue (2016) Gibson SG and an acoustic Martin X series (made in Mexico but I love its sound!) Plus several pedals and effects!
When it comes to bass guitar, I have a 5-string Musicman Stingray and a 2006 Fender Jazz Bass which I play on a 500W Mark Bass amp.
For the bass too, I hace a plethora of pedals to mess around with!
