I am. Goofy looking, but it is the most recent image I have.
Christopher J Reynolds. Born Dec. 6, 1969 in Hyannis Mass.
Now residing in Shreveport, LA, in a very comfy efficiency
apartment.
I
have always played the bass. I remember when I was 13 years
old, my father bought me my first.
It was an old Hoffner look-a-like. You know, Paul MacCartney
style. But I thought it was so cool. And after I figured out
how to play "Whip It" by "Devo", I thought I was too. If you
play an instrument, you know what I am talking about. That
feeling that nothing can stop you from taking the music scene
by surprise. That "I-must-be-a-natural!" feeling. Nothing
can stop me! Then you come to find out that everybody and
there dog knows how to play that song. Well, I think I have
gotten a little bit better, and wiser since then.
I
have had a lot of basses over the years. Not as many as some,
but enough. First was the "Hoffner". Then I bought a nice
"Washburn Force ABT10". It was nice. I think my brother Tim
still plays it. After that came the thrash-around "Cort".
Everyone needs to try that out. Then there was the "Peavey"
when I was playing for "Buzzard Pie". After that, "G&L SP1".
I still have this one. Then I bought the "Yamaha BBN5". Excellent
for the price. And, yes, I bought a "Rouge" acoustic. It really
isn't all that bad after some tweaking to the neck.
Nowadays
I play the bass with a friend of mine named Mike Trichell,
every once in awhile. And I design web sites for Softdisk.
Peace to you!
