Gino Foti: Bass Guitar, MIDI Pedals & Synthesizers
Gino has been playing bass guitar for over twenty-five years, including stints in the ubiquitous cover and jam bands of the Boston area, and is entirely self taught. Unlike many of his contemporaries, who have switched from electric guitar, he chose the bass because of its timbre and the challenge of exploring the instrument's built-in dichotomy of melody and rhythm.
Influences: He considers Geddy Lee, Jonas Hellborg, and Anthony Jackson as his "major triad", adding Ralphe Armstrong, Jeff Berlin, Mark Egan, Stuart Hamm, and Jaco Pastorius as some of his secondary influences.
Diversions: Founder/President of Net Dot Music
Bass Guitars: Various... the Steinberger XQ4 pictured was the only one used for both Electrum releases.
