First bass was a Cort 4 string. I can remember the body shape, but cant really describe it. the upper and lower horns were almost equal in shape and the body was fairly circular. It died a nasty death, falling over and the truss rod breaking through the back of the neck behind the nut.

First song I ever learned was Gypsy Road by Cinderella.
