JT Gray - Bass
Jeff started playing bass at age 8.
With the influences of country and rock-n-roll from artists from all over the world.
No one else in the family had any musical
talent.
Jeff found the groove during his early youth.
His mom bought his first bass rig from a country cat named Skeeter in the early 70's.
This package consisted of a Univox hollow body bass
and a huge Gibson single 18 bass amp.
Adding the structured classical lessons at age 9, cello playing developed
a collection of state competition medals that are still back at the Wisconsin
homestead on display for show and tell.
After a 12 year military career as a Drill
Sergeant and an M1A1 tank commander, music became the driving force of his
life –but second to his only child, Mindy Jean.
Currently Jeff has his own small business
technology company focusing on voice and data solutions, www.jeffgray.net
.
Classic rock is where he lights the fire on stage and playing music is what unlocks the treasures of his world...but variety is the key to all of his life fantasies.
Jeff now lives in the Puna district on the
island of Hawaii...
Jeff plays only one type of bass, the Musicman
Stingray 5.
His setups consist of Ampeg heads and cabinets, Alembic F-1X
preamps, Carver Power Amps and DR Strings.
"It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll".
