What made you want to pick up bass guitar as an instrument? (sopuli.xyz)

I started off playing guitar for a while, but after hearing the bass line for the song Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots, I was completely mind-blown and had to learn how to play that. Never looked back!

20+ years ago, I knew I wanted to play something.

My brother and dad already played guitar. My dad had a bass sitting around and asked if I wanted to try it. I did! And after that, it was all about making shitty punk bands with my friends - so many people played guitar, so everyone seemed to need a bassist.

Really got into it though. I play guitar now as well but only bass professionally (and by professionally I mean my mid-30s shitty punk band sometimes gets paid gigs, lol)
