Back when I was like 15 or 16, I wanted to learn to play the bass guitar. I found myself a teacher, and started doing lessons. At any rate, I lost contact with my teacher. He would always give me autographs as rewards for playing well. (He gave me Motley Crue's autographs and Gene Simmon's autograph also.) He would always tell me stories from the road when he would play with several bands, and his band would open for other bands. Anyways..I found this bio about him. Check him out. Anyone ever heard of him? or played with him? He has a pretty awesome resume I think.



Eddie Pruitt aka "E" has been a Conklin bass endorsee for over 10 years."E" plays a custom built Conklin "zebra 7" bass. The bass is strung E to high Bb and has a neck-through body Wenge and Purpleheart neck, with Zebrawood wings and a Wenge toneplate sandwiched in the middle. The bass also uses custom Seymour Duncan pickups and a piezo pickup bridge. "E" also uses and endorses Dean Markley Strings,Seymour Duncan/Basslines pickups, Jim Dunlop Effects, Pigtronix Phasers & Eden Amplification. He has shared the stage with artists and groups such as Jeff Scheetz, the Scorpions, Tamplin, Tony Macalpine, Paul Stanley & Greg Howe to name a few. He has won a number of bass awards and is a full time writer performer and clinician, and was one of few contacted to fill the open bass position for the band "Living Colour".
