About me:

I've been holding down the bottom end in various bands around Australia and Indonesia for more than 25 years. I'm self taught, having started out on guitar as a teenager before making the move to bass after I realized it was louder and could cause objects to fall off shelves.

The music player on this page features live and studio recordings on which I'm playing bass with various bands, as does the video player further down the page.

I've played in all kinds of rock, blues and pop bands over the years, as well as in tribute shows and musical theatre, and during that time I've performed everywhere from pubs to clubs, corporate functions, outdoor festivals, weddings, street parades, art galleries, museums, adult entertainment venues and biker clubhouses.

I play Musicman basses, and custom Fenders built by Bill Nash and Alan Knight through Alembic, QSC, Markbass and SWR amplification. I prefer Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats and D'Addario Chromes strings.

At the moment I am playing with Richard Madden, a very talented guitarist and songwriter, as well as performing in club tribute shows "Summer Nights" (Grease) and "Summer Fever" (70s disco tunes), and also party/dance cover band "How Bizarre". In the past 12 months I've also gigged with "Wish You Were Here - A Raw Floydian Experience", and filled in with Christina Crofts' band, and The Red Kings.

    Aha - you found me on myspace!

    You have given me some serious GAS by introducing me to Nash basses. I went to Billy Hydes yesterday and played a bunch of Fender P and Jazz basses. Compared to the Nash basses at Wild Horse, well, they just don't compare. It's probably a bit to do with the basses at Billy Hydes not being optimally set up but I'm pretty sure it's more than just that.

    If I end up ordering a Nash, I'll be sure to let you know!

    Cheers
