Well, I started in '90. I have been piddling around the house for about 10 years, playing the occasional studio session, and learning tunes through my iPod....but, hopefully, after my divorce, I will have more of a chance to get out there...at least play with other musicians..it's not always easy to make a bass sound great by yourself.

I got my first bass in 1966. It was a candy-apple red Tiesco Del Rey. It cost $109.00 new. I was 14 years old and had to pick cherries for 2 months to pay for it.

22 years. (Did I really just say that?)

 

[Aussie Player]

1971. First bass was a Hofner copy $49, a mint used Hofner was also in the same store for $99. I started really learning after that.

[LC transplant]

When I was fourteen I used the first hundred dollar bill I ever owned to put a peavey milestone p bass on layaway, been going strong for 15 years. All my friends parents had bought them guitars already, but no one had a bass and we wanted to start having bands, as the one kid with a job it fell to me to pick up the low end. I'm really glad it turned out this way though, I play guitar now also but will always be a bassist first and foremost.
