John Hauppa | bass, vox, guitar
Bands I like:
The National, Velvet Underground, The Pixies, Joy Division, Electrelane, Rolling Stones, Yo La Tengo, Belle & Sebastian, Cake, David Bowie, Naked Raygun, Material Issue, Minor Threat, Apples in Stereo, Stereolab
Gear:
Guitars: Hamer Cruise bass from the mid-nineties that I bought when they were still made near Chicago, and a Washburn acoustic. Currently playing with a Rickenbacker 330 or a Fender Telecaster through a Top Hat tube amp.
Amps: Fender BXR100 bass amp
Pedals: I don't use many effects, but when I need distortion I click on the MXR M-104 Distortion, or the Electroharmonix Big Muff.
Songwriting: Although everyone contributes, so far I have done most of the song writing for the band. This usually occurs on a Washburn acoustic. After I have a melody and a harmony, I break it up between a bass line and guitar riffs.
