About Me

Corporate slug by day, musician by night.  I play mostly bass but I mess with the guitar on occassion.

Influences:  Jack Bruce, Geddy Lee, Cliff Burton, Chris Squire, Phil Lesh, The Ox, John Paul Jones and Dee Dee Ramone to name a few.

Instruments:  '84 Japanese Squire P Bass, '87 Charvel 3B-P/J, '02 US Fender Strat HSS Texas Special, '90 Ovation Custom Balladeer

On my basses I use EMG pickups and Rotosound strings.  For my Strat I use the stock Texas Special singles and a Seymour Duncan Custom 5.

My claim to "fame" is a 3 minute performance on MTV many years ago and a number of performances at CBGB's in NYC.  BTW, they let pretty much anyone play there, however, just to know that on the stage stood some of rock and roll's greatest performers and meeting Hilly was mind numbing for me.

Anyhow, enough about me.  I would like add that Kompoz is a wonderful place to hang out and contribute to because people here that make it so.  We are the future of music and will be heralded as pioneers in the future (once the RIAA gets it's head out of it's...)

Sid is a very talented musician. I can imagine how it is quite easy for him to record a professional bass line. Besides that I've discovered his projects and they are really fantastic. For example, I often listen to his "Known-Unknown". And also he is very friendly. Thanks you are here, dude!
