I have been playing bass for 5 years now, this happened when a friend of mine started playing the electric guitar and "forced" me to play the bassguitar.

So I bought my first bass, a lefthanded EKS Cyclone! Which later became modified and dubbed the ND Custom!

Second bass was my Ibanez GSR200L, not a poor choice for a second bassguitar, but when time goes by you get dreams of better basses.

Then I bought my 5 string about 2.5 years ago, the Yamaha BBN5L which I am very proud of still.

I play on an Ashdown combo (MAG115-300) which I really, but my neighbours do not really seem to.
I have played in a 70ies-now coverband, which I was really happy in. Unfortunately we disbanded because I went to college in a different city than the rest of the band :(
