Tim
Bauer
Tim started his musical journey at a young age. At 10 years old Tim’s dad made him join the grade school
marching band. Tim chose the saxophone and it seemed to be a good fit, he continued in the grade school
band until the 8th grade. After starting high school Tim wanted to continue to challenge himself and joined the jazz band.
It was during Tim’s high school days that he started to hear artists such as Jimmi Hendrix,
Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton. It was Tim’s Dad that got everything started with the blues, Tom said, “Well
if you like Jimmi Hendrix and guys like that why don’t you listen to this and see what you think.” The CD
was Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, Texas Flood.
It wasn’t a week later Tim put the saxophone away and picked up a used guitar and taught himself
to play guitar.
Tim gets his tone from a 1968 Fender Super Reverb, a Vox AC-15, and a Ampeg
Reverb Rocket. He loves the tone and quality of G & L Guitars, and has
several choices including an ASAT simi-hollow body, a S-500. and a 1972 Fender
Thinline Tele Re-Issue. When he needs that little extra to get to
"11", the hot rodded PRS with 1959 Gibson Les Paul pickups does just
fine. Reminds him of the movie lines.
