I was 19 when i started. Chose classical because i was originally a punk rock bassist going to school for theory. There was a "university prep" program at a local college (Canada) that was classically based, and they took a lot of people on potential, so I auditiond and got in there. It was all downhill from there lol. What about you?

That's much more interesting than my story. I had been playing both classical and jazz in high school. When I was told I couldn't do both, I chose the one that had a much more interesting role for a bassist. It's not that I didn't enjoy classical music. I felt as if I had a more integral role when only four musicians were playing. And soloing is a lot of fun.
