When I was still in High School our band was looking for a bassplayer. I really wanted to play piano. I was anxious to join the guys and play my heart out. The days of piano sonatas were over. But when we couldn¹t find a bassist, I had to pick it up in order to move the band forward at age of 17. Since then I am deeply in love with the instrument. Here you can find some youtube films of my favourite bassplayers…
