Hi Everyone!
It was my 9th month playing anniversary last week, and i'm still loving it!
But it just got me wondering what age did you start playing bass and how long have you guys have been playing?  |

(work and life sure get in the way) As of now, I start in exactly 1 week. I have been playing around with my bass, but I guess I would have to answer your question by saying that I have been playing for -1 week! And when I do start, I'll be 54. (!!!)
