I was just wondering, there's probably guys here who've been playing all their lives.
I just thought I'd ask, who's been playing for the longest time?
I've only been playing for about 5 years. |

Builder: Rickett Customs | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Southern Maryland | | Since I was 10 continuously. (1985)
That would be almost 23 years
Me......the longest, not a chance.
I knew a much older gentleman in my youth (mid 80's),he had told me 50 yrs (never put in down in that time)
of course that was before the advent of the precision bass, when he started.

|  | keepin' the beat since the 60's | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Studio City, SoCal, USA | | | 1967, after playing guitar for a few years (Didn't everyone then?). Played continuously, did road trips for at least 10 years, then on and off, recently started playing steadily again.
Like Chroma - never played better - I am surprised at the compliments. I guess I learned something over the years. Hmmm. I certainly play simpler than in the 70's!
