Started playing at about 8y.o. C'70...At 12 My folks bought me my 1st bass- MIJ EB-3 copy & a 100w tube amp & 2x15 cab, started jamming with bands soon after. At 14 meet a couple lads (16 y.o.) & we formed a 3 piece band that played lots- pubs, functions, weddings etc. Apart from a few yrs in the late 80s, I've never stopped, & hope to keep it that way!
