Holland says hi!

[Maplestiltskin]

Hi all,

I'm a bassist from the Rotterdam area. I live quite near the world famous windmills of Kinderdijk, just across the river. 

Besides playing the bass, I'm also a keyboard player and a producer/arranger. 

I love all kinds of music: rock, soul, jazz, funk, even classical. I play in several bands. Volgende X Beter (Better Next Time) and the Reuben Hoeksema Band as a bass player. And in The Lounge Factory and The 50 Five as a keyboard player. I am also the conductor of two choirs. 

My bass and amp collection at the moment consists of:

1. Sandberg TM4 RW Cream White. All original.
2. Squier Jazz Bass VM fretless, the Frankenstein Bass. DiMarzio DP123 pups, Gotoh 203 bridge and Fender/CTS pots and wiring.
3. Fender Standard Jazz Bass LPB MN with EMG-J-set.
4. EBS Reidmar 500, EBS Classic 112, EBS Classic 210.
5. EBS Multicomp, Line6 Relay G30.

Good evening, Maplestiltskin (there's surely a story behind that..! ), and ...

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

[Maplestiltskin]

Thanks! It sure is a long story... ;-)

No, I don't. Should I?

Welcome! I'm just in the process of tying down a date for a showcase in Amsterdam this year- Holland's a lovely country to play in, can't wait to get back there!

Maybe we could set up an exchange project...  I would really like to do some gigs in the UK!
