Seattle native Michael Bloodgood has been rockin' the free world since age eleven. Michael sites such diverse bass guitar influences as Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Bain (Dio), and Doug Pinnick (King's X) to name a few.

Founder of the 80's pioneer Christian metal band that bears his name, Bloodgood continues to perform in the United States and Europe. Along the way Michael and his band mates have released nine albums and three concert videos, including their most recent 2008 performance in Norway in front of over 8,000 fans. The band's newest member, guitarist Oz Fox from the platinum-selling band Stryper joined on in 2007. Bloodgood will be releasing their next studio album in 2009.

To date, Michael has penned and published over 30 original songs eventually leading him to start his own label, B. Goode Records, which has already released Michael's first solo project The Cross Changes Everything (2008) where he showed his multi-instrumental talent performing all the bass, guitar, strings and even some drum parts on the project.

When Michael first heard an Eden Rig, he knew he had to have one. Currently, he uses our D-212XLT cabinets, with a WTX1000N "I have used a lot of different bass amps since I hit the road back in the 80's," Bloodgood says, "but the first time I tried out some Eden gear I was blown away! I had never heard such tone, clarity, and power coming out of a bass rig before. I knew I had finally found what I was looking for. Eden has nailed it!"

When not on the road, Michael is the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Redmond in Washington state.
