At the age of 11 i got my first guitar, acoustic and already
reversed. I have been learning some basics with folk music but at 13 or so
i dropped it and forgot every single thing about playing music.
At 18 after listening to music by Muse i wanted again to play an electric
and worked an entire summer to get one Ibanez RGX lefty.
After one year of lessons i got to university and dropped with
lessons, and played now and then but couldn't never really get gratified from
playing guitar.
Last year after a short lookaround i made what i already
knew to do since years: find a bass. Got the cheapest one, right handed
ROYTEK (italian supposedly hand made low-end instrument).
It was quite in bad state coming out from a humid basement
or somenthing. Now i am totally happy bass player with a better bass (wich
is nothing than the same as before, modified by myself), still
have a lot to learn but i exercise myself when i don't feel like at all too,
because i should have began earlier and want to retrieve the time
lost.
I have so few money and so much will to play bass, that i turned this first
right handed Roytek into the thing you see in photo without any previous
experience in doing that. I don't have any other basses
nor gear. I want just to learn to play it fine. And when it happens, it's
incredibly good.
