In 1982 he turns his hobby into his profession and opens his first bass shop by the name of \u201cBass &amp; Spass\u201d (bass and fun). As a newcomer in making instruments he cannot earn a living and consequently sets up the joinery \u201cLegno\u201d in Krefeld-H\u00fcls with three other carpenters. Besides working for his craftsmanship examination Ziesemann privately makes instruments in low numbers and displays them for sale in a salesroom of 10 square meters on the Legno compound. At that time G\u00fcnther Schreiber enters the sales room and suggests to him the idea of a line of guitars. \u201cDelta-Guitars\u201d with its polarising model \u201cTeardrop\u201d is born. In 1984 Ziesemann and Schreiber present their lines of instruments \u201cDelta-Guitars\u201d and \u201cBass &amp; Spass\u201d at the trade fair \u201cSound und Musik\u201d in Essen for the first time. There Ziesemann also presents the prototype of his experimental bass-chair, <em>\u201c&#8230;at whose backrest the bass strings were fixed and which could be played while sitting down on it. By the enormous mass that such a chair possesses, emerges a most unlikely sustain, that I haven&#8217;t heard of an e-bass to date. &#8230;\u201d<\/em> (Horst Stachelhaus, professional magazine \u201cMusikmagazin\u201d 8\/93)<\/p>\n<p>Ziesemann impressed professional circles even before the actual launch of Bassline with unconventional methods in the course of the further development of instruments that can be ascribed to the light bulb moment evoked by the bigger mass of the bass chair neck.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><code>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery_box_single\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery gllr_grid\" data-gllr-columns=\"5\" data-gllr-border-width=\"10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gllr_image_block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"width:170px;height:170px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-fancybox=\"gallery_fancybox_622\" href=\"https:\/\/bassline-bass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/01.jpg\" title=\"Der legend\u00e4re Bass-Stuhl von 1984\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"150\"height=\"150\" style=\"width:150px;height:150px;border-width: 10px;
