Your first bass or first bass line learned?

First bass owned: Hohner B-2 Steinberger copy. I sooooo wanted a Steinberger... I even cut out the Steinberger logo from their catalog and glued it in place over the Hohner logo. Moved the strap button to the back so I could emulate the look of the strap harness. I later gave the bass away (after removing the logo).

First line learned... either Little Green Bag (lot of open strings and 3rd fret) or Working Man (same thing).
 
mine was actually a 1975 Fender P-bass blacky with maple neck/fret board RELIC.

first song was probably...
hot cross buns
 
First Bass: Custom Fretless Carvin (my buddy let me play on it under his supervision untill I got my crappy Silvertone P-copy)
First Line: As soon as I touched the bass I taught myself was The Other Side by Red Hot Chili Peppers, then Around the World, also by Red Hot Chili Peppers
