Hey, dear low-end-community. I just signed up. I live in the Middle Rhine area, 50 miles from Cologne, near the Netherlands. I'm a little older (59) and my life as a bassist began about 40 years ago.
As a young man (hippie) I learned concert guitar and, as always, the first band had too many guitarists. After the first 10 years of amateur music, making money, family and other concerns were the main focus for 30 years.
A year ago I found back my passion for bass-playing and was interested in learning fretless. I am a fan of the German luthier, Siggi Jäger, from Humanbase Basses and I own two very nice ClassX models (The Basses with the crazy shape).
Now I like to look for 6-string basses, semi-acoustic variants and also for acoustic classic basses. GAS caught me and won't let me go. I hope I'm welcome to the land of great bass builders and fantastic musicians.
Greetings, Martin
