After 30+ years of playing guitar. one day about 6 years ago while looking for a gig in the local classifieds, all I could find were bassists and drummers wanted. The market was saturated with guitarists that were better, faster and younger. That was when I decided to switch to bass, because I didn't want to be a drummer. So I put my two full Marshall stacks up for sale to seal my commitment and to help pay for a powerful bass rig and a few basses to get me started. My only regret is I wish I had done it sooner. Haven't looked back and I haven't been out of a gig since. After 5 years of intensive retraining in all things bass, I feel at home and believe I was truly meant to play bass.
