I play bass because I started a band when I was 13. I saw that it only has 4 strings. It looked simple enough considering we played Ramones covers. BTW I'm 45 now

My first bass when I was 14 cost me 30 bucks I saved from a 5.00 allowance and saving lunch money. I bought a used Montoya Pbass one year later for 50 bucks, paid for the same way. I would actually play through my parents "Hi Fi" in the basement. By the time I was 16 I was already playing gigs...

I find that hard to believe. In a town that is known for their live music

At 14. 31 years ago. Time flies when your playing bass.

I just put Eminence Legend 200watt BP102 8ohm speakers in my old Hartke 410 xls cab. Paired with my GK400rb It sounds awesome and loud as a bitch
