For first, i'd like to thank you.....i've seen on internet all the lefty bass players never had a good site for them....
when i found your site, i wanted to cry for the happiness!!!!! you're great!!!

I'm a young musician, i'm only 24 y.o., but i'm so into it!!!
I started playn' bass at the age of 16 years old, with my cousin, a guitarist that now is 27 years old and started to play at the age of 15.
I began to play with a very cheap hand made bass, give to me by my cousin.
I begut takin bass lessons one years ago, so i can say that i'm an auto didact player.
My preferred playn style from the first times was funk music......i've learned playn jamiroquay songs and '70 funky music, but now by two years i'm so into '60 '70 vintage rock music, like Cream, Led Zeppelin and stuff like these!
I like a lot vintage instruments and aplifications...
I've played for a couple of years as a bass line maker for a italian funk/hip hop group called Revolshn Cream Click, then started to play with my actual Group since 4 years, called La Chiave (the key). We made our personal songs with '70 rock inspiration....but a little bit powerful.
As all the group's player has vintage instruments, the sound very vintage!
