My names Michael Budds. I have been playing bass guitar for about 5 years now and I'm currently playing in my band called Amoebia. The guitar itself is just a basic Yamaha RBX-270L in Mist Green. Although I have ordered a Warwick Thumb through neck for xmas!!!!

The equipment I use is a Peavey combo 115(210W output) along with another Peavey 410 TVX cab(400W) And occasionally I use my Trace Elliot rig when gigging in large venues. This comprises of a custom built 2x15",4x10", and 4x6" along with a Trace 600W head.

My all time favourite bass guitar players/influences are Jaco Pastorious for his famous double thumb technique, Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers for his driving force within the bass and playing attitude, and Nathan East for the smooth flowing bass lines some of us all take for granted.
