I'm 48 years old and I've been playing professionally for 30 years.
I am a studio player and recorded over 150 albums here in Quebec ( I did stop
counting a long time ago).
I've done thousands of TV shows ranging from Talk-shows to Music shows,Comedy
shows and special Events like Awards shows. I've done a lot of touring and did
some great ones with Céline Dion also. I did 5performances at the very
highly rated "Tonight show" with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno with her.
I'm still gigging regularly on TV and I'm still teaching in College and several
Universities for 25 years full-time as well.
I've been playing mainly for the past 20 years a Custom 5 strings bass made
by Pierre Laporte, a local luthier who did a great job at that bass.
It has a 35" scale,24 frets, Ken Smith PU and bridge, graphite stripes
in the neck,ebony fingerboard. That bass was built in 1990. It is a great sounding
bass.
Live I'm using an old Demeter VTDB 201 I bought directly from James in his garage
in 1990. I use also his TUBE DI as well for studio work along with an Avalon
U5. I recently switch from 2 Eden 4x10 xlt to a one 4x10 bergantino.
I also use a Rob Allen MB-2, and recently a P5 from Mike Lull that I modified
as a PJ and also a Fodera NYC Empire 5 strings.
I own about 20 left-handed basses and I'm selling some right now, so you might
be seeing more adds from me in a near future.
