Troy Sanders

Troy Sanders is the bassist and one of the vocalists for the Atlanta heavy metal band Mastodon. Bass and vocal style Sanders first played when he picked up his older brothers bass and tried it out. He did this even though the bass was strung for a lefty, and he was right-handed. A few months later, he talked his dad into buying him a bass. He cites Cliff Burton, Gene Simmons, and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott as influences on his bass playing. Sanders' gear includes a Fender Prophecy II
