D.J. the musician

for those who didnt know i am a musician....or i would like to call myself one i play instruments

u probably already knew i was a musican because the title of this part is D.J. The Musician
 
anyways i play guitar for a struggling local punk band called RiFf  3 and also a side project KC2 (squared not 2)  . im the secound guitarest in Riff 3 and was its former drummer.......im also  in side projects and other bands but this one intrest me most....we get better all the time. the rest of the bands im in dont do much but kc2 and Riff 3 has been growing musicaly. cody rice and me have been in  bands for years but now kc2 came up with a better song then riff 3 has ever made and might get kc2 more reconized. (i wrote this alont time ago riff three went through 2 name changes and i quit for 6 months) now where transistor am. www.transister-am.0catch.com is the web page.
 
i play bass guitar in most bands but i do a little of everything. ive written some if you ever heard Riff 3 play ...then you would know what i wrote...if not i wrote "Anabel"..."Derick"...."once a year" ......and  an instrumental  song.
 
i wish i was in other bands....the bands that inspire me and there are a ton...like The Offspring, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Nirvana, Stone Sour, System  of a down, Staind, NOFX, MXPX, Fenix TX, Boxcar Racer, Blink 182, Unwritten Law, The Beatles, Lit, Blue Oyster Cult, I Hate Myself, Dashboard Confessinals, Penfold, Sunny Day Realestate, The Get up kids, Sugar Cult, Rancid, Daft Punk, Disturbed, GoldFinger,  71 Gaps,  Alice In Chains,  Cold, Deftones, Tool, Eric Clapton, Green Day, Incubus, Oingo Boingo, Primus, Ramones, Screeching weasels, and Weird Al, Saetia, and Afi.
 
anywayz i bet your  wondering what all equpiment i have or use
 
  • Standard Percision Bass (Fender)
  • Sx100b (Rogue Bass)
  • Rogue bass  amp
  • Behringer 1200bass amp(sometimes play through both the amps)
  • Percussion plus drum set
  • Silvertone guitar
  • Squier Stratocaster
  • Ibanez amp
  • Dunlop Nylon Standard .80
  • Fender 351Standard (in shell)
  • Dunlop Tortex Standard .60
  • Nylon bass strings/Darco Electric strings
  • fender bass strings/ernie ball slinky hybrids strings
  • fender 50's strat
  • Squier showmaster

well the reason i use so many picks is because my fender has nylon bass strings and my fender heavys (picks) sound good on it...my rogue however has metal stings and will kill my fender picks!....so i use something more bendable and wont shread, like the Nylon picks i use...i use the tortex on guitar.....and i own everything but the silvertone guitar thats codys and the showmaster and 50's strat is christians, and one of the squier strats mine other is codys.

Note: didnt write anabel 2....my rougue is black and my Fender is sunburst

the demo was recorded with a boom box in scotts bedroom....its rare and will never see the light of day again (thats what tom and mark said) it has some great songs that should be re-released (like red skies)....only 20 copys were made .....
