When I was 11 I had just discovered pop/rock music having previously shown very little interest in any kind of music of any kind.

It would be another 2 years before I started to learn to play the guitar, but had I been playing back then it would have been glam rock songs inspired by T Rex etc. that I had written myself.

That would be 1971 for me. I started buying classical LPs then. Started playing cello at school the following year, but after that would then not play again until in my 50s. BG was 45 years away...

Wow, that is a long wait for the promised land.:)
(In Bass term of course).
But then again, it's never too late.

It was 1985 and I was just getting into rock music, via stuff like The Scorpions, Iron Maiden and Kiss.

I didn't get a bass till i was 12 but did pay violin (pretty basically, and pretty badly) so i started holding that like a guitar and plucking it.

Luckily playing bass took over the following year.

Mostly riding my bike, avoiding homework and playing computer games on a Spectrum. I wouldn't pick up the bass for another 6 years.

Me too. 1985, and I certainly wasn't as good at anything as that kid is, apart from maybe avoiding homework.

He's a late starter!

There has been a scan picture on Facebook over the weekend (Dave Swift announced that he will be a dad),
the picture included a Bass Guitar in the womb, tagged, 'no blood test needed'.

Away at Boarding School and counting myself lucky to have my own table tennis racket and cricket bat to while away the free hours.
I think if I started playing at 11 (actually I was 14) I'd still be tone deaf and struggling :)

That kid's going in the right direction tho.
