What was your first bass guitar?

[Rockmusician]

Washburn B20

 

[Ben Mitchell]

Squire Affinity Jazz bass V

 

[kjpollo]

a 3TS Memphis PBass "replica" > I use the term replica VERY loosely. The body shape was right but the pickup was nothing like a P-pickup.
A real junker that I do not miss one bit.

bought a Fender Mustang in a pawn shop back in '79 in San Diego (I was in the Navy) never learned how to play it sold it for $100 a couple of years later...man I wish I had that now!

 

[Staccato]

Fender Standard P Bass (Midnight Blue MIM)

 

[Righteous Thunderer]

Cort B4, loved that bass and have given serious thought to buying another, identical one. Sold it cheap to a dude who didn't have a bass and missed playing.

Cort Artisan B4, still have it but havent used it in years!

To previous post: They are indeed very nice basses for the money!

My first was a Fender P bass. I hated it so much; it was like playing a Louisville Slugger. My second was a Guild Pilot with the P/J EMGs, and I LOVED that one

The P and me 'twas ne'er to be

1986 Ibanez Roadstar II lined fretless, in basic black.

I still have it.

A short scale (30") no-name Mosrite copy that looked like somebody's woodshop project. I've never seen another one like it. My dad found it in a thrift shop along with a little 15 watt Sears amp. Not a bad little starter bass. Of course, I ruined it by taking it apart and losing half of the pieces, including the neck.

A Yamaha BB300. I still have it. Swapped out the stock p-style pup for EMG p-style and added an EMG J-style at the bridge.

 

[Foamy]

I miss it.
It was a U.S.A. Squier Bullet Deluxe (like a Tele bass). I think it was made in 1984, but could've been 1982.
I sold it about 5 years ago to a guy in Davis, and I'd LOVE the opportunity to buy it back.

[darkstorm]

Gibson doubleneck ebo3 bass and Sg guitar combo. 1974. Bought for very nice price from salesman at a store I frequented. He had it up for sale as his own and let me buy it for nice price.

 

[voodoobassist]

Mom bought me a 1963 I believe, Fender Jazz and a fender bassman for a whopping $300 from Driver Music in OKC OK. Kenny Driver let her make payments on it in house. This was in 1968 of course. Wish I still had that rig.

 

[zeroncali]

Squier Affinity P bass that I borrowed long term from a friend. The first bass I bought was a BBN5. I kind of miss it. (Traded it for an OLP)

 

[Pilgrim]

1963 P. I still have it 44 years after I got it in1967.

 

[NinjaPred]

A black Epiphone EB3, the one and only bass I have for now.
