JMarkD Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm Mark and I live in a small town near Orlando Florida called Howey-In-The-Hills. I just discovered Basschat and decided to sign up as I really would like a more international perspective on all things bass related. I have played as a pro for many years. I was born in Philadelphia, PA and gigged along the Jersey shore, the Baltimore/Washington DC area and Florida. I've played many gigs from roadhouse bars in Florida (chicken wire?) to The White House in DC. I like all kinds of music but find R&B styles the most enjoyable to play. I have many basses but mostly I use an old Lakland Joe Osborn, an older Lakland 4-94 and a twenty year old Modulus Quantum 5. I use Aguilar amps, either a DB750 or a Tonehammer 700 with DB112 cabs. Currently I play with a couple of bands around central Florida, mostly covers with some originals. Not too many bar gigs these days, mostly tourist venues and the "animal clubs". I do some recording with a drummer / songwriter using Logic Pro X on my iMac. Photo of the rig at Old Town in Kissimmee, FL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledad Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Welcome! Let me guess, Thw White House was pre-Donald ??? 3 hours ago, SpondonBassed said: animal clubs"? That's a new one on me. me too, don't have those down my way. Thinking about it, I've probably played some without knowing that's what they were called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMarkD Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Sorry. In the US it refers to service organizations that have local lodges. Moose Club, Eagles Club, Elks Club, for example. They are private clubs and usually are a gentler venue than a typical bar or pub. I'm new here so forgive my assumptions! I am still learning how to navigate the site. Seems like a great bunch of folks here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
