how long have you played bass

[tahoebass92]

7 years now. granted, i wasn't born until the last months of the bush administration.

 

[mikezimmerman]

Since '79, off and on. You'd think I'd be a lot better at it by now.

 

[Winemule]

Since dirt was invented. Which might explain why my first role model was Duck Dunn.

 

[bolophonic]

Almost 25 years.

 

[silvertripper]

20 YEARS

 

[T40Chump]

Jimmy Carter was president...

 

[Skitch it!]

Just over 25 years.

 

[jefwho]

Long enough to know that not one of the dudes in my band is going to appreciate the huge plate of Mexican food in front of me come rehearsal tonight.

or for those of you not using the burrito numbering system about 6 years.

 

[rational baze]

13years for me,since I was 15

 

[FutureTense]

I've been really playing (bands and whatnot) for about 8 years. I fiddled around on bass and guitar for a couple years before that.

 

[Stank56]

46 years, where's my geritol?

 

[Bufalo]

Since '92, so 19 years.

 

[LowNotes1]

37 years on bass, and a couple of embarrassing years on guitar before that. Opinion: I stunk as a guitar player.

 

[RosieB]

3-4 years? I lose track of time easily.

 

[SDMFJay]

21 years...wow has it been THAT long? No wonder I don't think certain music should be labeled as "Classic Rock".

 

[MonsterBass101]

3 years!

 

[Jazzdogg]

Since 1968 - about 43 years.

 

[Mayers]

12 years for me

 

[Mike M.]

I've been playing off and on since 1970. Played full time thru '82 and quit. Played from '93-'96 in a weekend band and quit again. Didn't start back up until 2008.

I'm another one who should be a lot better at it. But I've been working some very long hours since '98 and the only time I get to play anymore is on the weekends.

 

[Mulebagger]

22 years and I still feel like I have barely scratched the surface.

Crap has it really been 22 years already?
