My name is Frederick Peeters, born 07/06/1984 and living in Retie
(Belgium)
I started listening to rock and later metal music at high school and the bassplayer
always took my attention when visiting live gigs. So I started playing myself in 2002
and one year later I joined/started my first band. A Metallica Tribute band called
Sanitarium (www.sanitarium.be)
in which I'm still playing.
Cliff Burton has always been a great example for me. His basslines in Metallica songs
are just the most fun to play.
I played in some other bands as well cause writing music myself was necessary to develope
an own style. Currently I'm also active in the Belgian groove/death metal band Welkin
(www.welkin.be). Bass
is strongly involded in our music. Rhythm is all we care about in this band so I need
to put down a strong foundation ;)
Sanitarium and Welkin offer me a completely different playing style (finger/pick, loose
and free/thight rhytms) so this makes me a happy bassplayer who has everything he needs.
Influences besides Cliff Burton/Metallica are Alex Webster/Cannibal Corpse (for insane
fast fingered basslines), Jean Michel Labadie/Gojira (for endless energy in his live
perfomances) and Meshuggah (entire band) for making the most insane rhythm based music
ever.
My current equipment excists of a Yamaha TRB1005L as my main instrument and a Yamaha
BB405L as backup.
I'm pounding my 'grooves' through an Ampeg SVT CL with SVT810E cabinet. With the Metallica
Tribute band I'm also using an EHX Bigg Muff and a Morley Power Wah Boost for Cliff's
solo work in ao 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' and '(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth'.
