Re: How long have you been playing music?
I played tuba in school from 99-2002 and got a bass guitar in 2004 or 5...I don't know if you could call it "playing" though.
Tuba was all kinds of fun. Wish I could get one and run it through fuzz.

Re: How long have you been playing music?
Got my first bass in tenth grade, my first guitar in twelfth. Not sure when the first keyboard showed up, and I starting getting into pedals about seven years ago. Played around with everything but still considered myself a bass player until about two years ago when I really started mostly playing keys and guitar. I rarely ever play bass anymore.
So all told it's about 19 years, and I honestly don't understand the concept of feeling old, so...

Re: How long have you been playing music?
I first played guitar in the fall of 6th grade, which was ... uh ... 24 fucking years ago. Jesus tap-dancing christ. I got my first bass sophomore year in college, so that was 16 years ago.

Re: How long have you been playing music?
er, over 20 years. Electric guitar. Um, 22 or 23 years, I think.
I still have my first electric guitar. In real terms (inflation wise), it's probably the most I've paid for a guitar.
My first effects pedal was an Ibanez wah/fuzz (WF10?). (Actually, strictly speaking, my first pedal was Boss SD1 [edit: DS1] but I thought it was crap so it took it back the next day.)

Re: How long have you been playing music?
Been playing for 14 years, I got my first guitar (Fender acoustic, can't remember the model) around Christmas time. Then I got my first electric the following year, a super shitty Morgan Stratocaster. Man, those where the days.
