With the decreasing speed of the planet's rotation and the ongoing expansion of the universe, who knows what time really is anyway.

As time is relative, and I have a relative named Uncle David, I shall now rename time. Time's new name is Uncle David. You're welcome.

My god, why are you randomly putting words in boldface?

Have you had your coffee yet?

Oh no, now I'm doing it!

This thread somehow reminds me of the old sawmiller joke "I was working here at the sawmill for five years already," says guy, lifting two fingers.

I will let you do the math, 54 years ago and a few months and days. Too many seconds count.

BB300s were that expensive back then? They're excellent P basses that you can find used for $200 now.

Wow! I started on a black school loaner BB-300 as well. Probably from the same era!

378,432,000 or 536,112,000

The second number accounts for the five years I spent taking lessons and practicing before playing my first gig in a band. The first number is from the first gig til today (not accounting for Leap Years).

That said...

I started playing bass 34 years ago TODAY.

Coinkleydinkley, I also bought my first real bass in the summer of ‘87 and it was also a Yamaha (RBX800 in translucent red). I don’t have it anymore (traded it in on a Fender Aerodyne which I then traded in for my Fender American Deluxe J which I still have) and I doubt I’ll be finding the receipt as I bought it as a demo direct from the Yamaha sales rep.
So, congrats. On finding the receipt proving that you are a bassist. I wish I had one.
