With over 40 years on stage and in the studio, I bring a lifetime of musical experience to every lesson. Whether I’m performing with my band Hands Off at local Auckland venues or touring nationally with artists like Greg Johnson, my life is dedicated to the groove.
I’m a firm believer in learning fundamentals and am an advocate for understanding music theory and its practical application on the Bass, but my lessons also go beyond just scales and notes. I focus on the "real world" skills every bass player needs: solid timing, creating a great tone, and understanding how to lock in with a drummer. From beginners picking up their first 4-string to advanced players looking to master the 5-string "low B," I provide personalised coaching tailored to your goals.
Located in Long Bay, Auckland, I offer a relaxed, professional environment where we can unlock your potential and get you ready for the stage.

My Personal Bass Setup Specs
Here's a free PDF showing the measurements I use when setting up all of my Basses. This gives me a consistent and predictable feel across all of my Bass guitars. It's what I would consider a pretty normal and average setup that suits my playing styles. Some people prefer higher or lower actions, this is my preference.
