Maxcat Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 +1 on not selling your first bass. Mine was a crackly Jazz copy that in 82, wife number 1 swung at my head (Sturdy Bird) and shattered the neck against the banister when I ducked. Cant complain tho, she was guilty enough to buy me an 81 Ric to replace it which immediately became my first bass and is still with me today. I dont upset wife number two as you can imagine. Although I could get a Bongo out of it come to think. Faint heart and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) 5 years ago i bought my first bass, a status shark. Then a wee vox t25 practice amp. and an owen OD pedal. SOmeone gave me an old laney pro-bass head. 2 years ago i got a second hand CIJ P a year or so ag o i bought an old 2x12 tech cab and 6 months ago i bought a H&K Q600 head. I find it stagering on just these bits alone i have spent a hell of a lot of money! Not sold nything bar the OD on here. At somepoint the vox and laney may go but why would i want to sell the rest. The status doesnt get played much bu its worth far more to me than i could get selling it. Edited March 29, 2008 by LukeFRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viajero Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've just realised I've been playing for 9 years, which is terrifying. I really should be better! However, in that time I've had just three basses, and I've still got two of them - I'm afraid I boke the rule and did sell my first bass. In fact, I'm thinking of selling my second. As for strings, I've only changed strings about 5 times. It amazes me that people can break them, 'cause I never have. 20 years is a different league, though.
