Band: A.W.L.

Adelide / South Australia

I started playing bass when i turnd twelve in 2001 after my parents didnt say i could play the drums because it would cost to much and i wouldnt have anywere to put it, so i started bass, wich i wanted to play as much as the drums. I got a samick from a near by pawn shop for $170. its a good bass all things considering, apart from the poorly re-made scratch bord with machiene marks on the side, and the tone dial moves around inside the body, but its still good, its still good!

im in two bands, one plays songs by the red hot chilie peppers, evanecance, nirvana. were just your basic teebage garage cover band, we are inbetween names at the moment. The other is called A.W.L. and we havent decided what it stands for yet, i surjested "awoken with leperasy" but, no. we play songs by Metallica, Primus (my personal favourite band) , System of a Down, Slayer, Dream Theatre, and some others.

I use a Samick bass, i have no idea what type, and im getting a 5 string ibanez SR for my birthday in may. and i use a small CD-200B Drive amp.
