Your first bass or first bass line learned?

[FR5]

What was your first bass or the first bass line you learned? I plan on going for Smoke On The Water (once my luck returns and I actually get my bass >_>)

Haha, I actually started out with the same song as the starter of this thread, a zillion years ago. And now I am really learning to play it for a one-off birthday party coming up next month. It's actually harder than I remember it

Fender _ Squire P-Bass (MiJ)

My first bass was a Westone Thunder 1. Had it for 8 years and then someone lent me a Fender Jazz for an evening. :-(
I got rid of the Westone as quickly as I could, it hadn't occured to me you didn't have to spend a whole gig fighting with the neck!!
