How old are you?

[Flamingo21]

Can it be that we stopped aging as soon as we started playing bass?

Then I'll be 50 forever

 

[mr zee]

In a few month I will be in the next age group so i'll be an even older old codger. lol

Were are all as old as we've ever been and as young as we'll ever be.

The body of 75 year old. Mid 50's
@ThinCrappyTone my band members and I have adopted your TalkBass name as our slogan, it describes us well.

I had a job delivering milk door to door.

Horse & cart?

 

[dan1952]

I did that too one summer in 1970. Had to get up between 3:30 AM and 4 AM so I could take the delivery van to the plant, load up the dairy goods, and start deliveries by 5:30 AM. Really killed my evenings..was really glad to get a different job!

It made a 6 night a week gig pretty painful!
BTW, do you have scars on your shins from slipping on the step into the truck? I sure do!

 

[Flamingo21]

I'm old enough to have had a major health issue.

Please note that people of every age have major health issues. Including babies & toddlers.

I suppose it’s a sign of my age that I don’t understand the distinction between Reddit and “Internet forums in general”. It seems like another set of forums to me. It does have a nice bass community, I don’t spend a ton of time there but it seems like a good bunch of peeps.

It's just a different setup. More streamlined and kind of a one stop shop for forums.

Even Facebook is dying with my generation and younger. More music networking happens via YouTube and Instagram now

ROFLMAO...Yes.

I did finally learn to be sure to grab that handle that was mounted on the side of the truck so I could "minimize" the damage when slipping.

Polls like this make me feel as young as a spring chicken again. I'm old enough to be a bitter old man but still only half as old as the board average.

Mine, too.

Poll shows a nice bell-shape (any stephenson fans around here?)

Or do you mean “belly” shaped?

That, is of course, the truth. But, in my case, I mentioned it, because men develop age related issues.. and that happened to me. To all my bassist friends- if you are near 50, have your prostate checked REGULARLY.
