Hello there.

My name is Steve Smith and I play bass in the UK (Sheffield) band Fineline. We play a mixture of rock and trip hop, a la Portishead. The band consists of me, Andy (Guitar), Sean (drummer), and Faith, our female vocalist. I've been playing bass and guitar for approximately 9-10 years, 6- 7 of which I' ve been in bands of varying types. The most recent project has been running for about 2 years. I'm also interested in home produced drum and bass as a side project, writing music in the style of Roni Size
and the E-Z Rollers.

As far as equipment is concerned, I play several basses:
- Fender Jazz LH, refitted with EMG's and a Schaller bridge
- Yamaha BBN5L
- Aria SLB-2A Fretless

Amps:
-Ashdown ABM 500RC head with BP1510 cab
-Selmer Reverb 100/ Trace Elliot 4 x10

-Zoom BFX-708

Guitars:
-Various Acoustics
-Les Paul
-'87Strat
-All through a Marshall JTM60
-Zoom 3030 player
-Morley Wah
