BMM Please share with us a little of your personal background…
GV My name is Guillermo Vadalá and I was born in Buenos Aires,

Argentina. I started playing guitar at age 9 and electric bass arrived a

my home at age 14, via my old brother. We didn’t know how to tune th

bass and fortunately we did it correctly according to the low strings of

the guitar. My strong hobby at that moment was being a tennis player,

but music hit me in a strong way so I became a very enthusiastic bass
player.
BMM What was your first bass, and how did you come by it?
GV One day my older brother bought a bass. As soon I
arrived home from school, that was the first time I had ever
seen one. The brand was “Caiola Mobel,” an Argentinian
4-string electric bass.
