About Me
- About John F Kennedy
- Musical Background
- I started with bass at 12 and I've got 30 years under my belt now. I studied jazz at the College of Charleston.
- Location
- Charleston, SC
- Additional Information
- After working in carpentry shops building boxes and such for years, I'm moving into luthiery repair and construction
- Your Gear
- I am currently playing with an electric bass that I built from scraps around the shop. I also have a 94 Ken Smith Burner Custom 6. My upright is a Cremona CCB that I've been able to get a decent sound of, but the amount of outside gigs I play here in Charleston, she does just fine.
I have several different amps, depending on the gig. A GK 150, that can sit on top of an Eden EX12, that has a neo driver, or an Aguliar 12. The pair of 12 cabs have also sat under an EA Doubler or an Eden WT300. For loud situations, I still have my GT preamp/ power amp, which can sit on 410s with 210s just in case my girlfriend can't hear me from the house. - Why you joined Ken's Corner
- I ordered a Smith bass 20+ years ago and have been inspired by it ever since. Inspired to play better, and to build my own.
There is a wealth of bass information here and I just want to hang with y'all.
