My name is PP van Kouteren, I am from ‘75, and born and raised in Holland/Haarlem.

I began to play guitar at the age of 10. My father also plays the bass guitar, righthanded, so it was very easy for me to do also.

At the age of 12, I bought my first bass guitar, a Westone Thunder 1A and borrowed an old tube amplifier from my dad and there it al started.

As you can see I play left handed in the right way!!! (low E under, In normal condition I do also play lefthanded bassguitars!)

I learned to play on a righthanded Burns Vista Sonic bassguitar.

Bands (so far):
White Rose '93-'95
Sugar Ray Frank Blues Band '92-'94 (second bass player)
Beavershot '94-'95
Revival '94-'99
Beavershot / MT-Trunk '99 – 2009
Falling in Between ’08-‘09
In Trouble Rocks! ’10- '13
EigenWeijs ’13 – ‘14
