I dunno when I started exactly....I didn't know there would be a test later! It was around 1979. Here's a pic of me with my first bass, which I still own, around 1980 in Seattle with my first band.

| | | | I would redo the answers - which do you pick if you've played for 2 years, or 15 years, or 40 years? You see the problem.

If you have completed 2 full years you are in the 2+ range. If you have been playing 18 months, you are in the 1-2 years. Simple. |
