I'm General Electric. I've been playing bass for about 8 years, though I played piano for 7 years before that. I've also played guitar for about 4 years as well.

I guess you could consider me professional, if you consider a sub professional. Bands pay me to fill in for their bass player, since I've got a good ear and I'm a fast learner. Currently I work as a bassist and a butcher, though my average yearly earnings as a musicians is ~20,000 or so. I'm completely self taught, and I moved from SF to NYC to go to school and play bass. I'm only 19.

I play Fender Precisions (I've got 4) and a Nash Precision through a Mesa Boogie 400+ through two Bergantino NV610s. I've also got a bunch of other basses (fretted and fretless Jazz basses, Rickenbacker, etc) but you'll usually see me with a P-Bass of some sort when I play out or record.
