Let me tell you a little about myself before we get started. I have been playing/studying the electric & upright bass for 21 + years. I have studied under some of the best in the world, Victor Wooten, Roy Vogt, Ernest Szugyi, and David Hyde, to name a few. I have two degrees from Middle Tennessee State University, one in Instrumental Music Education. Presently, I am a music teacher in one of the local Middle Schools and I perform with my jazz group Moments Notice. The following pages will be dedicated to educating you about basses, music gear, music lessons, and a lot of my musical experiences. This is a picture of me with 4 of my Alembic Basses. The basses are as follows: Left to Right: 1980 Alembic Series I 1986 Alembic Distillate 1981 Alembic Series I 8-string 1978 Alembic Series I This picture was taken at a performance at the Stones River Mall in Murfreesboro, TN along with the Eric Swaim Quartet. Eric is pictured with his 1994 Ken Smith B.T.G 4-string.
