Wow, back in '75 I got my first bass, which was a Fender Musicmaster and the first thing I learned on it was Smoke On The Water.

Wow. For no particular reason I thought my "first song" entry would be a bit more rare, but I see it multiple times in the first page alone.

First song, Daytripper.

First bass (not mine) was a Beatle bass copy. My friend let me borrow it, and it was just a coincidence that the song and the bass were both Beatles oriented.

First bass (mine) was a G&L. Didn't know what I had, to be honest.

Talk soon
