if you know me, then you know i love the bass. the sound of it, the weight, the heaviness, the potential... it's my instrument, the instrument of my joy and my dispair.
i play a '98 Fender Precision Bass Standard in arctic white with a rosewood fretboard through a well-used Crate B20 XL combo amp. i used to own a Zoom 506 bass processor, but it busted. sad.
but anyhow... my love for the bass began in 1996, but i've been trying to play the guitar for as long as i can remember. one of my first guitar memories is of back when mom's 1960's Gibson Folk Acoustic was still bigger than i was. i'd just seen Yoyo Ma on Seseme Street and i tried to play the sucker like a cello with a butter knife. mother was NOT pleased. she took the knife from me, but then she took the guitar and showed me the right way to play it. i think i was in either kindergarden or preschool at the time. |
