For most of you, an Ibanez bass guitar has been at the top of the bass guitar food chain for longer than most of us can remember. The quality sound, superior craftsmanship and great feel is what has been at the top of my mind ever since I first picked one up and played it.
I didn’t start off playing bass guitar; I was a piano player to begin with. Playing the piano gave me the base skills I needed in music to progress to more desirable instruments 
. I played piano for 10 years from the time I was 5 years old until I was 15. it was then that I finally got a 6 string guitar. I was so happy.
My first guitar was a Gibson Les Paul standard, 1959 model. I played it from the time I was 15 until 25 years old. It was then that I picked up an Ibanez bass guitar for the first time and I was floored at how much fun playing a bass guitar was. I’ve always enjoyed finger picking on acoustics so the bass guitar was a natural fit for me. I started playing old school Metallica that was played by Cliff Burton. He was quite possibly the best finger playing bass guitarist ever. A definite hero of mine; as well as the rest of Metallica.
Now I play 3 instruments on a regular basis. the piano, guitar and bass guitar and I’m loving playing all of them. I play with some local bands and do studio gigs because of my instrument versatility. I’ve done several recording gigs and I’m planning on making it more of a full time employment because of the demand for it.
I can see myself learning more instruments as time goes by, such as the sax and possibly the drums. I owe all of this progression to my first time playing on Ibanez guitars as this opened my eyes to many more possibilities with musical instruments.
