I've been playing bass since my sixteenth birthday.
I 'am Peter and am from the Netherlands.
Being 41 years of age and started out like most lefthand-players with a simple Hondo, the only affordable lefthand bass at that time.
It was a heavy precision type bass. After playing it for some months having the blood on my fingers. I traded it in for a Westone Thunder 1.
And like most players over the length of time played a lot of basses, Westone spectrum, Yamaha BB1100S, Ibanez soundgear. Old Fender Precision

I've played several types of music, from rock to metal and some salsa.
Travelled around Holland with a pop like band called: Manner ohne Nerven for a couple of years.

but since a few years I've moved from Arnhem to Tilburg and rehearsels and gigs took to much time and money out of my pocket so I stopped playing in that band and found a Creed like band in the neighbourhood of Tilburg. Completed our first demo, and it is always new and interesting starting a new band an delivering your first baby.
After being on stage for a lot of years, it is strange but great to start all over. Just done a couple of gigs. and I guess the urge within the band is great.. But as time goes by, things change and the solo-guitarist left the band, And now we go into a totally other dimension and musical setting
