MY ELECTRIC BASS

My greatest material possession that I have is a beautiful Ibanez electric

bass it was the graduation gift that my parents gave me since at that time
I only thought about playing in a rock band it was my dream and although
they didn't like heavy rock very much, they wanted to surprise me in that
special moment for us a new stage in life where we go from children to
adults, I have kept and cherished much my electric bass. It was given to me
at a surprise meeting organized by my family to celebrate this
achievement, with this party my family has always shown me How important
I've been in the family. This gift has been very important and special for
me, this bass has been a symbol of my parents’ love, sacrifice and a lot of
dedication. I have never lost it; I have always had it close because it
reminds me of the love and pride of my father who died shortly after and
left us with a great void. That bass and I have had many adventures in
presentations, small concerts, parties and of course in love conquests, he
has been a loyal companion in the good and bad moments throughout my life.
On one occasion, I was in a difficult situation and thought for a moment to
sell my ring to get out of this difficult situation but I thought a lot and
decided not to sell it because my bass is a treasure very appreciated that
my parents have given me and I still keep it although what I regret is that
I haven't played it for a long time and I have forgotten how to do it I hope
very soon to take classes and play it again like before when I dreamed of
being a great rock star.
