Jim "JIMBY" Piampiano
Hobbies: I like going to horse shows. I love the sound of classic muscle cars
(modern classics too). Gotta love bowling - it's the law. I also like playing poker -
although I wish I was actually 'good' at it. I like bike rides (wishing for a Harley
instead of a bicycle) and taking drives out in the country to look at homes built at
the turn of the century. I always like going to the state fair and the Rennaissance
Festival. I really dig seeing a good movie especially a comedy. I like Irish folk music.
Favorite Bands: Primus, Killing Joke, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Beastie Boys, too
many to list.
Bass Demigods: John Entwistle, Les Claypool, Cliff Burton, Victor Wooten, Flea,
Chris Squire.
Favorite Movie: Swingers - Because you're so money and you don't even know it.
More Movies: Christmas Vacation, Knight's Tale, Shawshank Redemption, Vince
Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour, Time Bandits.
Favorite Drinks: Cap'n and Coke, Bailey's, Anything with an umbrella.
Favorite Quote: You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a
clipboard.
Favorite TV Shows: Heroes, Psych, American Idol (my secret shhhh), Family Guy.
Some Other Favorites: Mom's italian food. Riding a Badass Harley (still on the wish
list). Driving a Mustang GT with "Back in Black" crankin. Playing a Rickenbacker
(another pending wish). Hanging out after a show having a few drinks and laughing
it up.
Make Me Laugh: I LOVE when people use old, out of date slang. Monty Python's
Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
Gear and Equipment: Fender Geddy Lee signature Jazz Bass (with the all-important
'badass bridge'), Boss compression/sustain pedal, Ampeg BA-115 amp. Yeah, it’s a
minimalist setup. When you've got the big bottom, what more do you need?
