Stevie’s Juke Joint Bass: Blues, Honky Tonk, Soul
I ❤️ playing the bass: Blues, Honky Tonk, and Soul!
I got my first 6-string guitar, an Italian made EKO, back in 1974 at the age of 12. My first bass, a UNIVOX P-bass copy in 1979. My first 'expensive' bass owned was a RICKENBACKER 4001, that I purchased same year! My all-time favourite bass model is the FENDER Precision Bass - I love both the original 1951 single coil pickup design, and 1957 split coil pickup model! Along with Precisions, I played Jazz Basses in different bands over the decades. I'm also fond of GIBSON short scale bass models. I also play several EPIPHONE basses & guitars.
I consider myself a "meat & potatoes" bass player (if that is such a thing)!!
I love blues, R&B, soul, and old country! I honestly don't listen to much post 1980s music!
