Great site by the way, glad i found it :)

My name is Ingi Ingason and i am a 30 year lefty-bassplayer from Reykjavik, Iceland. I started playing when i was turning 14, after it had been a dream of mine for some years to have my own bass guitar. I then got my first bass guitar, Aria Pro II, and was mostly playing heavy metal to begin with, Cliff Burton being my idol. But of course i couldnt look pass Sir McCartney, the one and only genius, and was later very influenced by his work.

I later bought a Fender Jazz Bass (japanese made). I replaced the original pick-ups with EMG passive pickups. The sound was, and still is amazing, especially when it comes to studio sessions. For some reason i then sold my Aria Pro II (i know, you should always hold on to your first ...)
Then in march 2009 i got what i dreamt of for ages, a "Hofner 500/1 '62 ri"......what a beauty :)


In the year 2002 i decided to take music a bit more seriously, and was accepted in Paul McCartney´s LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts), graduated there in July 2005, and have been very active as a professional musician ever since.
