Bass guitar

Current setup

• Ibanez GSX100EX Mahagony Finish - This is my latest purchase, just what I wanted. Surprisingly affordable.
  
• DR Strings DDT-65 Super Heavy - C Standard Tuning. They are nice for this tuning.
  
• Ibanez EDC700 Ergodyne Active Bass - Picked this up cheap used, has a hairline crack in the top of neck and static laden hardware.
  
• Electro-Harmonix Green Big Russian Muff reissue pedal - My first pedal, love to fuzz
  
• RAT pedal - "the" distortion pedal, just picked it up in march 2022
  
• Fender Rumble 60 Combo Amp - cheap used combo to get me back into things
  
• Levy's leather strap - I have got to have a comfortable strap, and I do enjoy leather products.
  

History

I started playing in my teen years, maybe 15 years old. I am left handed but my mother couldn't afford the left handed versions so we ended up with a right handed Slammer by Hammer P-Bass. I don't remember what my first practice amp was. I picked up a double bass, that's an upright bass, in my early 20s and did some psychobilly style stuff. I joined a small solo project of my friend Mike Disko. I played the upright, we had keyboard and him singing and playing acoustic guitar. It was a fun project. I picked up some other basses before then, Cort 4 string that I pulled the frets and made fretless. I still have this one, it's just not in playing quality.

My music

I currently like to play in the stoner doom style. It harkens back to Black Sabbath really and their bass player, Geezer Butler, has always been a favorite of mine.
