Hey Paranoid-mex
Well, It's actually pretty hard for me to point a finger at specific people who I'm influenced by. I belive that the main inspiration or influence if you will comes from the early stages in life. I've been pointed towards many things musically by my family and discovered alot of things by myself when I was younger that has inspired me in one way or the other.
With that being said I do have people I've checked out. Regarding my bass-playing there has been bass-players like Les Claypool, Flea, Burton and those kind of folks. Later on I discovered people like Matt Garrison, Pastorius and the main bass-god of all time: Richard Bona
. These guys are not metal-heads but more in the direction of jazz. I listen to all kinds of music and have played ALL kinds. I enjoy building my music-knowledge bigger by playing all styles of music. the inspiration-list from non-bassplayers are REALLY long. You can check it out on my profile on pyramaze.com under favorite artists- Kinda the same thing

Hey Muzmaze
Wow, that's a tough one, buddy.
Dammit, I would really like to pick out the very "right" 3 persons but that's gonna take hours to figure out
Here are 3 famous persons I would like to meet:
Steven Tyler; The first idol I had that I can remember. Now adays he's f-ing 59 years old and still rocking HARD. Saw them last week here in Denmark. Awesome
Richard Bona; Just so I could steal some of his chops. He IS my favorite bass-player of all time, so....
Robbie Williams; So I could kick his ass
uke:Hi Xendra
1) My absolute hero? hmmmm..... Well, the one who comes the closest to a hero or idol - again - must be richard bona. And no, I've never met him in person. But that day WILL come
Other than that there's Bono from U2. A man who deserves alot of credit for what he does around the world other than playing music. And there's always Freddy Krueger, but he's not real
Right now I'm listening to Peter Gabriel with "In Your Eyes" from "So"

Yes, actually I do. It is a "Cheri"-bass. It was really cheap and not that good. But it was okay considering the price. I bought it when I was 13 years old. About 5 years ago I made it fretless by myself. I haven't used it for a while now. Maybe I should put it on e-bay....
Sure you can have my autograph. Just say the word

Yes, it is available in the U.S. I think I had one when we played Prog-Power in September. But I do think that Carlsberg is more common in the U.S. when we talk danish beer. If you can't find Tuborg try a Carlsberg. They taste almost the same. But of course, Tuborg is just a little better

Growing up I was listening to alot of the 80's rock scene. especially Guns 'N Roses and Metallica. Back then they made their best albums which I still love today

Hi Niels, when I was younger, I really want to play bass, but can't take classes and I'm not so talented that I could learn on my own ...
Question is, how much time did cost you to be as good as you are now, It's more a talent or a perseverance thing, or a bit of both?

?HELL NO
That's THE most ugly bass I've ever seen. And I'm sure it sounds like shit too.
