Not enough room left for one?

I hit the 10-year mark back in 1982...

I think I'm at the 5 year mark. I played bass on my mom's acoustic.

I'm not sure when my exact start date is but it's approximately 10 years for me too. First tried a bass 10 years ago last June, then borrowed one the following September until Christmas, when I got my first. And I still have it, though throughly frankenfretlessed!

Here's to 10 years on the bottom!

Can't remember exactly, but it was sometime in 1984 when I bought my first...a Ric 4001 (of course black & white just like Geddy). Didn't think then I would be doing it to pay the bills 22 years later.

As you said, keep on rockin'.

Or jazz or blues or whatever...

Wow, I wish I remembered the day I started playing bass. It was around 7 years ago, but I can't pin it down to a specific day (or even month).
