For the first several months, I assumed that a Fender Jazz bass was only good for playing jazz.

I just came in to type that very thing. I was disappointed when I finally saved up $250 and the only used bass at my local store was a "Jazz" bass. That was 1980 and I still have it and play it regularly, and so does my daughter.

I had never heard of Rush, and when I saw the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, I assumed that he played jazz.

I used to think picks were the devil and that only guitarists 'pretending to play bass' used picks.

I also used to believe that guitarists, simply because they were guitarists, should write the riffs for songs.

Oh, how silly I was.

I thought I had a sense of time.

I thought jazz was hard (it's harder)

That in order to be funky you had to play slap style. have since left that behind for the fingerstyle, ghost note funkiness. love it.

I got a sunn cabinet that was 2ohms and another cab that was 4ohms, the amp lasted about 12 minutes...smoke...spark...bad smell...so much for my accoustic 370, that was a fast $250!

I thought learning sheet music was useless.
I thought scales were just for practicing.
I thought The harmonic and natural minor (for guitar) were "arabian " styles of playing (don't ask why).
I used to try to use a tuner acoustically on the bass.
I forgot this one, I used to play with my thumb instead of fingerstyle. (right hand)
