Me and my band playing the songs and basslines I like the most, but mainly a tribute to my all time favourite bass player: Pino Palladino
About Me:
When I was a child I used to play keybords but when at the age of 14 (1985) a friend explained to me that the 4 string bigger guitar was a BASS and produced the sound I liked in Iron Maiden intros (Wratchild, Killers to name some) I realized it would become the instrument of my life.
I started with a cheap EKO bass playing U2 songs, then I concentrated on Iron Maiden and Marillion. Then one day I bumped into a live version of Paul Young's Wherever I Lay My Hat ant that's why I started playing fretless (1988).
I started playing with some school mates of mine in 1987 and we've playing together since then (only the guitarist, after having the third child couldn't keep on playing with us and left 2 years ago): that's BubuBand: the Worst Band in History! We challenge everybody else in the world to play the songs we play as badly as we do and still be so brave to gig around!
My basses too evovlved along the years: EKO, Warwick Streamer Fretless ('88), Yamaha TRB6 ('93), Laurus 6 T800 fretted ('05) and fretless ('06) and so on... At present, my pride and joy are the 4 Pre Ernie Music Man ('77 SRay and '79 Sabre fretted; '79 SRay and'79 Sabre fretless) a '63 PBass and a '66 JBass.
I play just for fun, I'm kinda self taught, Iplay 99% by ear and I hardly read music... I have very few scores and tabs!
