Hi, 
I'm Alberto Rinaldis from Luxembourg, 48 years old & playing Bass since ....35 years . 
My family is from Italy & my dad played mandolin & Guitar. My Grandfather was also a musician & a builder. 
My first bass was Gibson copy from EKO, my uncle lend me the bass for a couple of years. 
My first bass I bought was  Fender Precision Elite II gold Walnut ,1983 & I still have this bass. 
After a while I switched over to a MM Stingray 5. Great Bass for that time, but I was not satisfied & I was 
looking around to find that bass, but I didn't find it. So I started building myself my first fretless 5 String bass 
in 1996. 
Since that time I've build around 20 basses ..... I'm still building basses & I enjoy playing them. 
 
All the best 
Alberto
