What was your first bass guitar?

[gre107]

My first bass was a '80's Fender Jazz fretless. Wish I never sold it...

 

[thadg]

Mine is going to be an ibanez gsr200

 

[pstyle]

Mine was a Vester 4 string with PJ pickups.. have never seen or heard about vesters since.. It was red.

 

[Invader Zim]

Mine was a Vox Clubman, very crude,maple board, medium scale and the machine heads were like plastic guitar machines
Cost me £10, when i was about 12 maybe 13 years old

 

[BadMonk]

Mine was the cheapo Washburn parted out from the beginner's kit. Hated it after about week.

 

[Ricky Caboverde]

Tacoma Thunderchief bass...

 

[lefty]

my first bass was lotus copy of a p bass. played it for a year.
then i pulled the trigger on a ibanez roadster lefty.
i still own the ibinez and consider it my first real bass.
to this day, it's my favorite bass that i own.
though.... i have a bass being made for me right now that is probably going to be my favorite bass.
cant wait for for that to be done.

Mine was a red Squirre P-bass. Played it for about 16 years before I upgraded to a "Geddy" about a month ago!

Mine was and still is a Squire Affinity P-Bass, then again that was just this past December LOL bought a Schecter Elite-5 a few weeks ago. Still love el-cheapo Squire and practice on it more than I do my Schecter. I think it sounds great, plays well, and I still enjoy it so what more can I say.

Actually no it wasn't, my first was an Electra immitation Rick, played thru a york cube amp!

 

[Aughn]

man was and still is a '89 MIJ Fender Precision had it for about 3 1/2 years, hope to get something else soon!

Mine was a metallic red Vester P/J 4 string. I have no idea what the actual model name is. I even still have that bass! Maybe one day my kids will want to play bass, and I'll have something for them to mess around with.

A Fender Precision found for my by fellow TB'er and my first teacher, KJung, over 25 years ago!

Looked pretty much like this:

only it was most likely an 80's model, came with a black pickguard (that I swapped out for tortoise-shell).

It always pays to have someone who knows what they're doing help you get your hands on a good instrument!

Thanks again, Ken!

A short scale Mach 1 Electric Series. I still have it though it doesn't work. I got it for about $100 which was about $98 more than it was worth. My band had already started practicing and the guy that was loaning me his bass was starting to get pissed. So I had to get one real quick for not much $$.

 

[danomite64]

An old Kalamazoo my dad played in the early '70's.

 

[GSPLBASSDC]

Mine was an Ibanez Soundgear SR4....natural, blond wood, passive pickups, not a bad bass for a beginner.

 

[Talon1987]

Mine was a Squier P-Bass

 

[Jimi Cleek]

Ventura EBO copy.

 

[Wesley R]

Somewhat of a buterscotch-burst, two pups. I would like another, just for nostalgia. I already have a Decca (my second bass) and a Kingston guitar, just like my first electric guitar.

Best of Luck,
Wesley R.
