Hi Basschat
Living in Ontario Canada all my life and family originates from Derbyshire UK. I play a wide varieties of music but prefer playing classic/rock/alt-prog. Been playing bass since about 1994. For first few years it was just noodling and figuring out easier songs. Then i went and saw a friends band play and i was determined to get good enough to be in a cover band and play gigs. Around 250 gigs later!..woo hoo. I have played in cover, orig and tribute bands. The last band i was in a Tool tribute. (which was VERY fun)

Got tendonitis in my wrists in 2006 from working at a steel company for 15years. Left there and went back to school for Audio Engineering at a well known school in Toronto (Metalworks). After a 3 year break from manual labour and no bass playing im back to 100%. I have lots of gear/basses/pedals etc.
