Default Re: First instrument?

Eh. My first instrument is a lot more recent and a lot less nostalgic. It was a 5 string bass Stingray ripoff. It had a passive humbucker which completely defeated its likeness to the sound of a real Musicman. It had an elm body with a natural finish and solid black pickguard. It had a very quiet, ****, kinda thumpy sound to it that never cut through. The only thing I ever liked about it was that it was extremely easy to play. I came up with some pretty complex bass lines with that thing that I always had a hard time playing on other basses. I originally paid $260 dollars for it new. I sold it to a coworker for $200. Not too shabby.
