Timothy Lyons - 18 year old bassist from NJ, and attending Moravian College in PA, a business major and music minor concentrating on jazz studies on bass and piano. “I'm a bit of a bag of knowledge concerning a lot of gear and am always willing to answer questions (Explaining 5500 posts on talkbass.com and the lead poster at gallien-krueger.com) and some other things. I have a lot of knowledge about basses, amps, effects, and many bassists themselves”.
