Many may know me from the Double Bass Forum as Boxcars. Well, it's still me, only here I can talk about electric stuff. My main influences have to be Stanley Clarke, Michael Manring, and a ton of bassists who aren't well known, but still play very tastefully (check out the bassist on Crash Test Dummie's first album "The Ghosts That Haunt Me." Cool, yet simple stuff). I play on an Ibanez Roadster 5-string bass, with D'Addario strings (I'm comparing them to DR strings, which will be put on next week). I also have a beat up 4-string Fender copy, that is in hiatus. I stripped it, and am staining it, and putting tung oil on the back. It will be pretty sharp when I'm done, hopefully by next week. It's got a mix of D'Aquisto strings on the top, and Dean Markley Blue Steel strings on the bottom. Good funk sound. I write electric compositions, and if anyone wants to try one, or have me write one for them, let me know. I love composition, so it's usually no problem. That's really about it. Hope this forum goes as well as the double bass one is. Jon "Boxcars" Moody moody@alpha.lansing.cc.mi.us .
