Where were you born Preeti?
Enfield, London, England
Do you come from a musical family?
Not musical but artistic. My mother is
an illustrator and my father is a poet.
What was your very first stage
appearance?
When I was kid in grade school concerts
as a dancer and singer - as a
bass-player was playing backup for a
Motown style singer in Toronto. It was
small show but it was great to play.
Which bassist do you most admire?
It's a toss up between Meshell
N'Degeocello and Prince. Meshell has
this raw energy and the ability to make
the bass sound melodic and aggressive at
the same time. I remember watching her
music videos when I was thirteen and
being like 'Who is that girl? How can
she play like that?' Prince is not known
for being a bass player, but his style
of songwriting makes it incredibly fun
to play his bass parts and listen to his
arrangements.
Tell us about your gear.
I play two basses. My practice bass is
my Conrad '70s-style P-Bass. It's
a Japanese made bass and it is a knock
off, but it plays so well. My
performance bass is a Fender Jazz Bass -
Mexican Series. Rig - Peavy.
Are you currently with a band?
I currently am spending a lot of
time on song-writing and practicing. In
the in between times, I jam with local
musicians around Toronto.
Apart from Canada, which countries
have you played in?
USA
and Great Britain
"Music is a part of me, there is nothing
that makes me happier than playing good
music. I would love to tour with a band
soon and hoping to meet a lot of great
musicians along the way". |

grand parents were all good singers
Which bassist do you most admire?
Jaco Pastorius but there's also others,
my favourite session bass player is
Nathan East.
Tell us about your
instruments/amp/gear?
Most of my 5 string basses are custom
made by JP and Zoot, I also use a
5 string Alembic Orion (great sounding
bass) and my Fender '64 Jazz bass goes
everywhere with me. I also use Marshall
Amplification and my favourite strings
are Rotosound (I use Nickel 665LDN, long
scale, gauge 130)

session-musician - who have you played

Anne Clark, MelanieC, Hugh Cornwell,
Tanita Tikaram, Brian Ferry and others

Amy, where were you born?
Taipei, Taiwan
Do you come from a musical family?
Not really, my older sister played the
piano, but that's it.
What was your very first stage
appearance?
I was probably 4 or 5. It was a piano
recital. I played second and had a
really hard time sitting still for the
rest of the recital.
Which bassist do you most admire?
I don't think I have any particular
bassist I admire the most. There are so
many great players who's styles are so
different. I think I learn a little
something from every bass player I see.
Tell us about your instruments?
I have a few basses. I play mainly my
'83 Rickenbacker (my first bass) and my
Fender Jazz.
. . . your amps and equipment?
It's taken a while for me to settle on
something, and I think it'll probably be
a life long experiment to get the right
sound because I doubt I'll ever be
completely satisfied with my tone, but
currently I have an '82 Ampeg MTI, a '69
Ampeg 8x10, MXR Bass Distortion DI,
Digitech Synthwah and a Crybaby Bass Wah
. . . and your current band?
HDR
What other bands have you played
with?
I play guitar in The Trinkets and
played bass with Ladysmith and
Phantom Blue.
What is your favourite music
genre?
Again, I
don't think I have a favourite. I grew
up playing classical piano and have a
really deep seeded love for that. I
studied Jazz in school and play loud
hard rock in my band.
What are your hobbies outside
music?
I love to cook. I'm currently starting a
food business with my boyfriend!
Do you play other instruments?
Piano,
flute, guitar
What is your band's latest
CD/album?
'We Are HDR'
Motto:
Keep the
rock alive!!
