David Hasinfelt was born in Las Vegas with music in his veins. Over his career, Dave has played with such names as Mark Kendall and Great White, Mark Slaughter from Capitol recording artist Slaughter, Joe Perry from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Areosmith, drummer Vinnie Appice from Ronnie James Dio and Black Sabbath, and the legendary Carmine Appice, who has toured and recorded with Rod Stewart, Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Vanilla Fudge and Blue Murder.
Dave was instrumental in the club scene of the '80s and '90s, touring with various West Coast recording artists from Los Angeles to Phoenix and back to his hometown of Las Vegas, where he continued to play the local club and casino circuit. He has been honored by Guitar Player Magazine with a Certificate of Meritorious Musicianship from a reader's Soundpage competition, which scored him in the top 50 players nationwide. His extensive knowledge of technique and style has produced a profound and varied love of a wide range of influences to include: R&B, funk, rock, blues and — most notably — jazz fusion.
Dave relocated to Louisville on the heels of a budding local musical industry with a wide variety of opportunities. In 2006, he traveled to Albuquerque to begin work on his first CD, an instrumental compilation of jazz fusion, rock and melodic bass compositions. Entitled "The Final Analysis," the CD laid the foundation for a future full-length recording with six originals featuring himself on four and five string bass, and acoustic, lead and rhythm guitars. As composer and arranger on the project, Dave also engineered and produced the CD as well. "The Final Analysis" is available on the independent label, La Rou Records. From catchy melody of "Melinda" and the isolating undercurrent of "She," to the bass heavy rock/jazz anthem "Terra Incognita," his passion and love of music is ever-present and mezmerizing.
Currently, Dave is continuing to write and compose in preparation for the upcoming recording project of Jaida Blue and gives private bass lessons/instruction through his instrumental tutoring service, Ace of Bass.
