First Name: Ryan
Last Name: Bishop
Bio: Ummm... well, I play a Yamaha RBX5JM, its a transparent green analine water stain and nitro laquer. Green is consequently my favorite color. I love to play music, it really doesn't matter what it is. But I especially like to play punk and hard rock. I don't really care about the latest trends or who can do the fastest two handed tapping solo... I just like to play. I feel that music should be cathartic, not narcisistic and self-serving. I love drummers who know what to play without having a discussion about it.
Years playing bass: I've been playing for about 12 years.
Gear: Yamaha RBX5JM
Yorkville 200 watt something or other (its covered with blue carpet if that helps)
An assortment of Boss pedals (tuner, distortion, EQ)
An overdrive pedal made by Voodoo labs, its my favorite
Any sort of patch cable that's in the discount bin at Long and McQuade
Straplocks (God help me if I ever dropped that thing, I can't afford another one)
Influences: Whoa, lots! No Means No (John and Rob Wright are a package deal), Flea, Fat Mike, James Jamerson, Rocco Prestia, John Entwhistle, John Paul Jones,
Current Gig(s): I play in a math rock band that is as of yet unnamed, its completely just for fun.
Day Job: I make furniture and cabinets.
Location: Vancouver BC
