Rogério Lima Manganelli (born October 31, 1973), commonly known as Roger Lima, is a Brazilian bass guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. He is best known as the bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist of American ska-punk band Less Than Jake. Lima also performs in punk rock band Rehasher, and has another band called Greenhorn. When not playing with a band, Lima is working in his recording studio, The Moathouse, or flying radio controlled airplanes. Lima is known to collect Pez and has a room in his home dedicated to Pez . Hence one of Less Than Jake's album being titled Pezcore .
Lima (October 31, 1973, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) is the second bassist for Less Than Jake (replacing original bassist Shaun Grief) and has appeared on all of Less Than Jake's albums. Previously a guitar player, he played bass for the first time when he joined the band. In addition to playing bass, he shares singing duties with Chris DeMakes. Lima produces Less than Jake's demos and some official releases (for example, Absolution for Idiots and Addicts (EP) of 2006), and co-produced GNV FLA of 2008, and was the producer of See The Light of 2013. Lima often plays the guitar tracks on the records. Occasionally, he has also played the second guitar onstage with Less Than Jake - for example, when performing "Last Hour of the Last Day of Work" or "The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out/Screws Fall Out." He has been known to be the most conspicuous member of the group due to his charismatic stage presence and his dreadlock hairstyle.
For bass equipment, Roger currently uses Hartke amplifiers, his setup includes Ampeg bass cabinets and a KILO Amplifier head Musicman Sterling basses in various colors, and Ernie Ball strings.
