"I first picked up a bass to play at John's house, on Nesenkeag Drive in Litchfield, sometime around January 1992. The first song I learned was/is a Moths anthem, "Daytime at Doodles" The 3 note melody still brings me to tears, like simple lines intertwining.
From early on, I was deeply into Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience ( Jack Bruce and Noel Redding ) from there my attention migrated to John Entwistle of The Who, and he was my main influence for the next 10 years. From there I moved to really digging what was going on with Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and backing off from chops style playing to the feel style playing of Billy Talbot. From there I have got into the Funk of James Jamerson, Bootsy Collins and particularly the New Orleans flavor of funk personified by George Porter, Jr. My overall sound has changed in unison with those influences, from the Piano clank of The Ox (Entwistle) and Geddy Lee to a more rounded, mid-range sound of Funk players.
Overall, I would say that my "sound" is more trebly than most, except when playing funk where the tone needs to me more full and smoooooooooth." Dave Ricard
