It wasn't until years later that Bob made the decision to switch to bass, but his keyboard lessons proved fortuitous as it gave Bob a background in musical theory, harmony and composition that has shaped Bob’s musical style which incorporates not only traditional bass grooves but extended solos and chords.

Bob still owns and plays his first bass, a ’75 Music Man Stingray, but he is most at home on his sevening Conklin. Although Bob first bought a sixing, he eventually migrated to the sevening as it gave him more range to solo—and he uses every note. Bob also still extremely proficient at keyboards as well.
