Name John Maryanski Instrument Bass Hometown East Los Angeles, CA Currently Lives Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, CA Likes I'm really into MMA. I think if i was not in a band that's what I would be doing. I'm a person that likes to challenge myself with things I love to do. If you ever see me in the studio I get really pissed at myself if I cant get it right the first time. I like hanging out with friends and family. I also love movies and reading but I don't do that enough with the busy shcedule I have. I love to take risks and I find that when I do, things work the way they should. Its like fate or the hand of God pushes me towards my goals and purpose in life. And that would be to bring happiness in others lives. Dislikes Negativity! I adapt to my surroundings so it is easy for me to fall into that same mood. I am best around good people or being by myself. I don't put important things in my life on the backburner. What else I like to people watch and I'm a tough person to get to know. Favorite Shows Every show and I really mean that. Even if there is only one person there a show is where the most pure and raw self comes out. Tour Likes Everything about it! The drive there, the show, after the show! I live for the road. That is where I feel I belong. Tour Dislikes Being broke and missing the family. I wish they could see even just half of what I do. I know if they did they would understand who and what I am. Equipment I'm on the endless struggle of finding my sound. Right now I use Ernie Ball Music Man 4-String StingRay Basses, 130 DR Strings or Rotosound, Ampeg SVT-CL Classic Amplifiers and Ampeg SVT-810E Classic Bass Cabinets. I love the power of tubes but replacing them is a bitch! I'm starting to get into layered bass sounds so I'll be getting alot of pedals or a rackmount unit.
