waynepunkdude Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 When you first started playing did you realise the body was made out of wood? I didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Err yeah! The first bass I played had cheap and nasty sunburst finish and the second was a Gibson copy with varnished wood. The wood grain gave it away both times. Also I was not daft enough to think they were made of plastic. No offence. Maybe you bought one of those plastic toy guitars that played themselves or whatever they did? BTW how old were you at the time, what bass was it & when did you realise it was made of wood?

Musky Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 My first bass was one of these, so yes I knew that it was wood. What I didn't realise was that wood could be so heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) My Dad was a carpenter so I knew from very early days what was wood & what wasn't, not to mention my first bass guitar was hand made, out of WOOD that my Dad selected specially for the job To be fair - when I was a lad - I'm not so sure that Plastic had been invented Edited January 29, 2011 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaver Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 If it's in any consolation my second (or third) bass was a Burns Flyte. I was convinced it had a plastic body and an aluminium neck. I'm still not entirely sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
