Twenty five years on bass, and started on guitar a couple of years before that. My first instrument was piano when I was five, but I didn't stick with it for very long.

About 10 years but I took a few years off for health reasons and now I've downgraded myself to having never played before

 

[I<34080]

approaching my tenth year.

 

[NewLaw83]

15 years. Started at 13.

 

[Marty Forrer]

Started on guitar 1959, switched to bass 1963, played to 1969 and gave it away to 1985. I guess that's 32 years of bass, 7 of it as a full-time pro. Sigh.....
