I live in a little village near Figueres (painter Salvador Dali's birthplace), close to the French border I've been playing LeftyBassguitar for the last 20 years, and so on...

Here are the bands where I have played:

- 69.G My first R'n'R band ever (1990 to 1995)
- The Furillos A power pop trio (1990 to 2001)
- Have Mercy ZZ Top Tribute band for the first 5 Lp's of "that little Ol' band from Texas" (1991 to 1996)
- Egotrip A short project of a friend of mine (1994)
- Tuti Fruti Music band for all ages (1996 to 2010)
- Pinocchio My actual band, since 2006. We play indie & Rock music covers and actually, we just have started doing our own music.

- Also I have an interesting project for joining with a band of Cuban musicians (delightful for me)


MY Gear it's simple:

- Isanda 4 strings Bass guitar My first Bass ever. Righty turned lefty and it's a Precission bad clone

- Kawai FIIB 4 strings Bass guitar My first real Bass. Must be from 1989 and it's an Alembic clone that got popular trought the 90's

- Yamaha RBX 350 Got it as a wedding present from my friends. The one I use most at home to practice

- Custom made Stingray (the Bass in the picture)

Made by a good friend of mine with the help of Catalan Luthier Rafa Bazaga. His name was Manel Illana, and he died five and a half years ago RIP

He was a real good and fast LEFTY guitar player, as well as a very good Bass player. As you may supose, it's a honour for me to hold and play that Bass,

since we were very close friends and I learned a lot from him. I felt sooo lucky when his wife wanted to give it to me.

- Now, I'm the proud owner of that 2008 Rickenbaker 4003 sold on your site by Jeroen Gahrmann from The Netherlands last January. I bought it very quick, but Jeroen could'nt find a cheap shipping to Spain, so a friend of mine in Den Haag was holding the Rick for me until yesterday, when it arrived to my home. That's why I'm writting to you, because I need to tell it to the whole world :-)

- My amplifiers are an old Peavey combo 300 (for practicing), a 2 x 10" Mark Bass Combo (the one I use for everything) and that thing on the picture, the only Massey Fergusson Bass Amp in the world (that's a joke to all the musicians suffering G.A.S.)
