About Me |
|
| Stew has been a musician most of his life and a professional for more than 20 years. Although he played a 4 string when he first picked up the instrument, he quickly shifted to a 5 for the added low range in 1987. When he began studying with Steve Bailey he saw the potential in the 6 string and made the change to that instrument in 1988. From the first moments he held and played it, though, he mused on the possibility of an instrument that went both higher and lower -- a single course 8 string. It took 10 years before he found someone willing to try his ideas and he has never looked back. Now he is known predominently for playing 8 and 10 string basses. | |
