Danny "Spinal Tap" Ascher - Bass Guitar & Choreography

Age: 6 and 1/2 (in Dog Years)

Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised on Long Island...

Danny began to play upright bass violin in the elementary school orchestra beginning at age 8, and started playing electric bass at age 13 when he discovered Kiss and Aerosmith - and stopped playing the upright soon after (bad move, in hindsight). He stole his first bass guitar at gunpoint on the streets of Lower Manhattan after his parents refused to buy him one. His many years behind bars help him a style that is envied by many.

Favorite Artists: too many to mention.... but here goes: The two above, plus: Van Halen, Led Zep, Rick Derringer, Percy Jones, Billy Sheehan, Derek Smalls, yadda yadda yadda


Current Gear: Lakland, Spector, Fender, Music Man, Peavey, and BC Rich basses (last he checked). SWR, GK, Trace Elliot, Avatar and Peavey amps/cabs, Sadowsky DI.
 

Favorite cartoon character: Simon Bar Sinister
