Welcome to OnTheBass.com | The Official Site of Bassist Tom Martin
Though a literal translation of the instrument Tom plays, electric bass has become an analogy of the synergy experienced when a unit is ON . This is the electric bass Tom seeks.
Tom has a theory that people are like musical notes. Each has their own frequency and there are limited frequencies. Putting those frequencies together creates a chord and each person affects the overall "tone" of the group. Though a rhythm person at heart, Tom thrives on harmony and the possibilities different people can create. Pursuing the possibilities is what Tom enjoys about making music.
