Started playing bass about two years ago, with an Epiphone El Segundo Acoustic that my parents bought for me. Now I play all the time. I have four basses at my house. Two electrics (one of them fretless, though I'm only borrowing it), an acoustic, and a double. I also sing. The bass actually came from the desire to play an instrument in a band along with singing. I've been singing for as long as I can remember. I also do some percussion, mainly congas, bongos, and other Latin stuff.
