I have been visiting your website for a couple of weeks, and it is a very nice place for lefty bass players!

I´m 52 yrs old, and have been playing for about 35 years now.
i have played in
many bands over the years. i played for 2 years with the "Duprees", they had a hit with the song "you belong to me", and i played with a band called "Race", and we did a couple of songs on the soundtrack to the movie "the Toxic Avenger". currently i am playing with a VERY talented group of musicians in the New York / New Jersey area. the singer is Jo Wymer (www.jowymer.com),
and i also play occaisionally with another guitar player in that group, by the name of Arnie Baird (
www.arniebaird.net) im haveing a lot of fun playing gret music with great musicians!!

For my amplifiers, i use a CRATE BX100 amplifier, with a 15 inch speaker, and a CRATE BT1000 amplifier with a 12 inch speaker. and if i need to, i hook them up together. this gives me a lot of different combinations to choose from, when i use my different bases.
