sang with parents everywhere we went for as long as I can remember
took up piano at age 6 (1963)
trumpet at 9
guitar at 10
bass and drums at 15, knew that year that bass would be my main instrument.
played drums as a hobby since 15
My first bass (1969 Fender Precision Bass sunburst/rosewood) belonged to my high school and it was an extended loan (1 year) after which I bought a new 1975 Fender Precision fretless natural w/maple neck/fingerboard, so my first year I learned the bass doing traditional jazz standards and my second year was just learning to play a fretless... Today I am 57 and play mostly 4 and 5 string acoustic and electric fretted and fretless bass guitars including a great stanty fret Dingwall Combustion.
