The same goes for "Scarified", truly an excellent piece for a beginner.

 

[Sound Chaser]

Led Zeppelin's "Dazed And Confused"...only I couldn't read tab right, so I was playing it:

G--0---------------0--------------
D----10--9--8--7-----5--4--3--2--

And, being a noob without an amp, couldn't hear that it was wrong...

 

[JimmyM]

First bass: 1964 Framus solidbody
First bassline learned: "Not Fragile" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive (not exactly a huge hit but I had just gotten the album and loved that bassline because it was by itself)

 

[Keeaumoku]

First bass... 1974 Rickenbacker 4001

First 'bass line'... this is kinda hard to pinpoint... 'Louie Louie', or 'Gloria' immediately come to mind, but that would be way before I decided to play bass guitar. Then there are the classic surf songs: 'Walk Don't Run', 'Pipeline', 'Wipe Out'; etc... however, I learned such tunes on guitar long before I picked-up a bass...

First bass line??? Dammit! This is a really good question! 'Hey Joe'... maybe??? 'Fire' also comes to mind...

I am stumped... 'das 'fo sho'.... Thanks for making me reminisce and think...

My very first bass. 10 years ago...
A Venson(?) PJ configuration.
A piece of crap, but I like the body shape.

 

[de la mocha]

My first bass ever was a Dinosaur. I'm dead serious, that was the name on the headstock. It was a cheap $85 bass. I didn't know any better then.

The first bassline I ever learned was 40 OUNCE TO FREEDOM by Sublime.

 

[McHack]

First Bass - Peavey T-20, natural finish.
First Bass Line - Hell, I cant remember... I think it was "How many more times" by Led Zeppelin. I already knew bass clef & I bought the Zeppelin book "Complete".
