Great little guitar shop in london Ontario. They had ernieball there, only place that did. In canada at the time EB was hard to find. They had a 2 band natural stingray that was just awsome in my inexperienced hands. The salesman was Dave, he held onto the bass in the back for me while I made payments over the course of about 4 months or so. They didnt do this as a policy but I would put money down and play it on the weekends in the back of the store till I could bring it home. He was instrumental in my getting a ball back then. That was in 1992 had it ever since and will always.

Thats my story

[kbaim]

I was 41
Sort of bought 2 Lukes at the same time. A Blue Dawn I ordered through GC and a Purple one GC let me borrow for 3 months until the Blue Dawn came in.

Went to pick up the blue dawn, paid what I owed, then figured what the hell, I'm in love with this purple thing...may as well buy it too.

Bel-Air/ London Guitar Shop?

 

[Phazer]

I was 17, almost 18

 

[THE_EB_KID]

29 it was a SUB 1

 

[Dizzy]

Just turned 33 in 2006 - Amber Axis (now in Italy).

 

[zombi]

26... last year. Finally took the plunge. Had been eying the subs, but they got discontinued and I was in a band with a singer that demanded gibs so much he gave me his to play. Sort of bummed him out when I threw it on the ground after a show. I hated that guitar. So when I was visiting my family in texas, I saw this used gem on the wall at gc and a finish crack got me probably one of the best deals ever on an MM.

18. Stingray 4-string in '96. Still going strong and still my main bass.
