Cone (Jason)
What do you do if every Bass Player you’ve ever had is Greasy, Unmotivated or just a plain shit bag? You create your own! If you combine one part badass bass licks, two scoops vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle with good looks you’ll end up with Cone. Cone put an end to Sum41’s long search for a Masterbassor in Feb. of 1999. Sick and tired of cleaning up stale popcorn and hard gummy bears at the Movie theatre where he worked, Cone decided that the road leading to rock was his destination, so he quit the movie business for a career in music. Born in 1980 in Toronto, Cone grew up surrounded by a huge selection of Satellite pornography. By 14 years of age Cone had picked up his first Bass, an El Degas, and since has honed his skills to become the next Geddy Lee. Cone then joined Sum41 and still thinks that he is the real reason Sum41 got signed because as he keeps reminding the band “We did get signed right after I joined the band.”
