It is due to a close friend of mine that I finally purchased an electric bass guitar in 2005. We were on the way to starting a band this time and somehow I happened to volunteer for playing bass. Ambitious as I am I started with a fretless bass right away, sadly enough ambitions did not suffice to continue the project already after some months. Back then I started to understand and implement the meaning of root to music.
In 2008 anyway I still used fluidsynth with soundfonts and therefor keyboard mechanics to achieve bass figures for my music. From there I have gone a long way and in 2010 I finally got myself a double bass and started enjoying the extended features of sound shaping this instrument has to offer.
