Hi everyone,
Im an Italian bass player from Napoli, moved to London almost four years ago.
I have been playing since I was 13...that makes a 20 years long relationship with the 4 strings!
Since December last year I have also started a new adventure with a Double bass
I am not too fussy when it comes to styles, as long as I feel the good vibrations.
My musical experiences are mainly related to: Rock, Jazz, Pop, Reggae/Dub, Blues and Folk
I love “grooving” and I have a natural tendency to approach the bass in a melodic way
My safe port is my Fender Jazz American Standard, upgraded with a pair of Di Marzio Ultrajazz Pick ups and a BadassII Bridge.
I have recently bought a Precision American Vintage Reissue '58 ...what a joy!
I also own two fantastic hand-crafted Wood and Tronics, a Choronos and an EJ fretless (sadly both on sale now)
During These 20 years I had fun with
Ibanez SDGR(my first bass, now my cousin's first bass)
Cort Artisan A6
Rickenbacker 4003
Spector Euro5 XL
Fender Roscoe Beck Signature
Epiphone Jack Casady
Precision American Vintage Reissue '57
Hofner Violin Contemporary
Gibson Thunderbird
My favoured amps are Ampeg and Marshall.....
Hope to meet new musicians here
All the best
Mario
Music is my heaven on earth!
