Jean Van Holder

Band: UNIT

Mechelen / Belgium

At last, we, lefthanded bassplayers, have a spot on our own!

I'm Sean Van Holder form Mechelen (Belgium), a town between Antwerp and Brussels.

More than 20 years ago I was the bassist in the band Toulouse Lectric. After a long time of parenting I picked up the bass again and after a few months of serious practicing I joined a coverband named UNIT.

My very first bass was a Höfner Cavern 1962 bass (right-handed), so I had to switch some things in order to play it. This bass was severly damaged during a 10 minutes break on a gig. (A real trauma…always take a back-up bass on tour!) My next bass was a Fender Jazz Bass (lefty) and soon after that a Hohner bass.

I've sold them 20 years ago and I now regret this very much. Luckily I've found new basses which I'm very fond of!
