16 months, its embarassing because ive wanted to my entire life, i remember wanting one since i was three, but im poor, since i got my bass, i rarely play less then 3 hours a day, last summer i would just play bass all day, 18 hours a day for weeks on end, good times....helped me through what would have been bad times

I got my first bass on my 16th birthday and had never played bass or guitar before. one month later I was in my high school jazz band

Three years later I'm loving the bass more than when I got my first bass(it's for sale by the way, see below).

I was 16, but I played guitar for a little over a year before I got my first bass. That was a little over 3 years ago. Scarry... I'll be 20 in a couple of months.

Got my first bass (Yamaha BN4) and started playing in May 2002, 6 months before my 21st b-day. Played trumpet for 13 years before that.

I was 15 when I started, though I didn't really progress for about a year when I started frequenting TB and got lessons.

 

[goran]

I started when I was 16. That was years ago, but it seems like yesterday... That is true love

 

[yoshi]

Wow, a lot of people started at 16, I did too!

My 2 year bass b-days coming up in about 1-2weeks (I remeber I started in march when I was 16, my birthdays in Jan').

Chaulk another vote for the ripe ol age of 13 sometime back in the 70's.
