My name is John Schwetje. I'm a lefty bassist, and I live on Long Island in NY.

I've played for about 45 years in lots of different types of situations playing many styles of rock and funk, fusion and jazz. As of now, I'm focused on recording my original compositions as a One Man Band.

I also play guitar, keys, sing, and do drum programming. My gigging years were almost always as a bassist.

My current basses are a mid 80's Japanese Fender Jazz bass that I've made into a fretless and outfitted with EMG pickups and a Badass Bridge;a Warwick Corvette 6 String;

and a Japanese Fender Precision that I've put a Bartolini pickup in and outfitted with a Gotoh bridge. I play through a MarkBass rig and use a bunch of Line 6 and Boss effects.

My original material is on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Here are the links:
