(poor sound, but you'll get the idea!)
For as long as I can remember, I have always loved the feeling of low frequencies hitting me square in the middle of my chest. When I was just 4 years old, I thought I had reached nirvana when I discovered the bass control knob on my parents old hi-fi system. When I turned this knob up and hugged the speaker, I felt the vibrations pulse through my body and was instantly and forever a changed person! From then on, all I wanted to do was play the bass, but first my parents put me through 8 years of classical, modern and avant garde piano training. At the age of 15, when I got my first pay check from my very first job, I immediately went to the local music store and bought my first electric bass and amp. (The total for both only came to $60!) Within a week, I was already working with 2 bands and since then, I haven't looked back. I have become an accomplished electric fretted and fretless bassist, double bassist and keyboardist.
