Guus Bakker

Hi, I am Guus Bakker (born 1970 Doesburg, Netherlands) a bassplayer, currently living in Rotterdam. I started playing guitar at age 11 and dedicated myself to the electric bass at 14. In 1989 I started to study at the Rotterdam Conservatory with electric bass ànd double bass, an entirely new instrument for me at that time, both as my main subject. I graduated in 1996. Ever since then I´ve been active especially as a performing musician, both in the Dutch and Belgian music scene, besides some teaching at SKVR (Rotterdam) and at ‘de Stoep’ (Spijkenisse). ************************************************************ ** The Netherlands: Dick de Graaf 4tet, E.T.
