Your first instrument?

What was the first instrument you bought? What was the first 4/5/6 string weapon that got you into playing music?

I still remember buying my first bass. An old 4 string active Scheffler…

other than the obvious???????


well seriously an acoustic guitar.

A small TAMA drum kit in 1985  

Afterwards:
A no-name acoustic guitar in the mid-90s.
A no-name electric guitar in the early 00's.
An IBANEZ acoustic guitar (left-handed) in 2007 (gift).
An IBANEZ electric bass (left-handed) in 2009.

Cool!

What I bought after my first bass was a second one. A 5-string Cort Curbow to be more precise.

Recently I also bought a Fender acoustic guitar.

I bought an acoustic guitar in 2005 and an Ibanez electric guitar in 2006…and I'm thinking of selling them both

Not quite of musician, huh?

Well my first instrument was an Epiphone Thunderbird Bass and after that an Ibanez Electric Guitar

Hmmm, not really a fan of Epiphone instruments. There are a few that are quite good, but it surely is a more than decent instrument to start with.

The first was a flute my parents influenced me to play… Guess it was fun because I kept it for a few years.
But to the real deal! My first guitar, which still is with me was a Japanese BC Rich ockingbird from 1984, I think I bought it from a friend in 1994 or so!

The best deal though was from my Guitar Guru Jörgen. He calls me every now and then when he finds cool stuff. I told him I was after a RR-1 Jackson V, 24-frets and a lot more details… It took about 3-4 years and he calls me. I couldn't afford it so I didn't want to listen. He almost got annoyed and said I could at least hear him out.
He'd just traed in a 1988 Custom Shop, RR-1 Jackson, with all the specifications I'd given him years back, white with black stripes. BRAND NEW, it had the guarantee tag and original pricetag still i it. I got to buy it for the value he bought it for, ca 1/3 of the real price! How can one resist an offer like that? I couldn't, noodles and "knäcke bröd" as a diet a few weeks and the deal was done!

Don't regret that one AT ALL! Best guitar ever!

First instrument?  Humm… I had been given a seventies issued Gibson Victory Bass, which I still use on stage today.  It looks battered and worn… but the sound is incredible.  That was my first one.
