First Bass - Kalamazoo (loaned it to a friend - who left town with it...). Got it when I was about 12 years old. Been watching the bottom line for 33 years now...
First bass - Yamaha RBX model (cant remember which)
First line - dunno - probably either 'Duece' by Kiss or something off Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue!
first bass austin au829 in black. i wanted my first lines to be the bass line from smoke on the water. which is why i wanted to play bass in the first place. but the first actual lines were money from pink floyd.
The bass I first learned on was a black Cort headless (not a bad Steinberger copy) with a P/J combination that was lent to me by a family member but the first bass I owned was a red 4 string Samick Artist Series with a P/J combination.
The first song I ever played was Lightning Crashes by Live.
I know it's a cover (and a blatant ripoff of of Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War"), but I've never actually heard the Diamond Head version so...
First bassline - Smells like Teen Spirit, but since I couldnt' really even play that, fast foreward about a year and uh, When in Doubt by Thousand Foot Krutch
First Bass: Peavey Millenium 4AC BXP transparent black finish - got it about a month ago and love the thing so damn much. Every time I open my case I almost **** myself at how beautiful this instrument is. And when I pick it up, there's normally a wee turtle head poking out. Then to actually play it, I require a diaper. Not really, but dammit I love this thing. And I used to think my computer was the best thing I owned pffff.
First Song: Electric Funeral by Sabbath, cause I could already play it on guitar...
then it was Break on Through by the Doors
