first bass

[stewblack]

Look what I just found in my shed!! Should probably be in bass porn or for sale inviting offers but what the heck, it's my first ever bass. (Note close up of all important bridge, dirt and sticker arrangement.)

I think the sticker can be saved... not sure about the rest of the Bass though...

My first bass is still round my Mum's somewhere. It was an SG shaped Westbury refinished in black car paint with a P-Bass pickup. The first thing I did was take the frets out and fill it with plastic wood (I wanted to be Pino Palladino- just a phase, I swear). I think i paid £15 for it.

Memories eh?

I hope this turns into a first bass thread


Mine: A Kay SG copy. Muddy, earthy tone. Unslappable. It was (is) lovely.

It's short-scale and I could only just reach the first fret with a stretch when I started playing.

This was once a Kay, or Woolworth's guitar as they were known. A truly horrible instrument suitable for French cricket and beating carpets.

my first bass is the bass I still got... a jackson, it's not expensive as such, but it's nice, the only bass I want more than it is a parker.
