My name is Peter H. Boer
Started out as a drummer but quit that when entering teens.
Picked up bass at the end of highschool and started playing classic rock (though it wasn't called 'classic' then yet :) ), which soon drifted into NWoBHM and progressive rock, with sidesteps to jazz, jazz-rock fusion and the likes.
My main bass influences were and are: Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Alain Caron, Michael Manring, Gary Thain, Anthony Jackson, Chris Squire, etc.
General influences: Allan Holdsworth, Rush, Yes, Pain of Salvation, Wagner, Puccini, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden, Thelonious Monk, etc.
I already was using several basses (6-string fretted, 8-string (4 with octaves) & fretless) when the first adds for MB-1 appeared in Bass Player mag. This allowed me to switch instruments without having to redial the sound. So I bought one when they entered the European market, and the rest is history.
Fast forward 10 something years:
I find ADADepot while looking for places to service my MB-1 as ADA itself when belly-up by then.
Since then the Depot has cost me a lot of money though ;D, as I now own 2 MB-1s (one in the live rack, 1 in the studio) both equiped with an MDRT, BB opamps and some minor other upgrades.
An MP-1 with MDRT, and Jur's old MP-1 Mod4Mk2 with MDRT.
I currently hold the bass-chair in 3 bands:

http://www.illumion.net (http://www.illumion.net) Progressive rock with a feminine twist

I have my own hobby/project studio, which keeps me busy enough, also for bands outside those I play in: http://www.thegrannyattic.com (http://www.thegrannyattic.com)
And of course I can be found on FB:
