Make and model of the first bass you owned

The first bass that I owned was a black Casino Stage Series. I individualised it by putting a Kilbey/Kennedy “You Are Everything” sticker on it after a few months though.

My first was a Fender Squier, black body w/ white scratch guard. I had a co-worker who was in a band and needed a bass player. I lied and told him I played bass (because I wanted to be in a band lol) then ran out, bought the bass, picked up some tab books and gave myself a crash course on bass playing. Even banged it up a little bit to give it that nice, used look so he'd think I'd had it for a while. Funny thing was I only played bass for a couple weeks when it became apparent we were going to need a rhythm guitarist – so once again I lied, said I played guitar, went out and rented an ESP LTD and gave myself a crash course on power chords and rhythm playing.

Yep. I'm just a big ol' liar.

I really enjoyed playing rhythm. As the rhythm guitarist I ended up, if not coming up with most of the main riffs and hooks, then at least fine tuning and finalizing the ones we came up with as a group. I wish I still had my copies of the demos we cut. We had some pretty bad-ass riffs, if I do say so myself (and I do!).

But as much as I loved and enjoyed playing rhythm guitar, I missed bass while I was away from it, and now that I'm back to it I'm never leaving it again. I love my bass. If it had a vagina, I'd never leave the house.

My first bass was a Vantage Avenger. Got it in '86 I think. I still have it.

I thought you were talking about me. Wondered what it meant, then I scrolled up
