My friend in college introduced me to Primus then let me try out his bass, I was powerless to resist the enticing sound of the E string. What else could I do but buy my own bass? I'm only human!
it was a mixture of having the job to be the bassist when my family played rockband 1 and i was instantly taken in by the soundplus all the music i listen to has a heavy bass in it
One bassist that inspired me was, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses. I believe he is very under-rated. Of course I HAVE to put in Steve Harris, and Cliff too.
Some guys I had jammed with previously (on keys) needed a bass player. So I bought one and started learning their catalog. Turns out I enjoy it much more than keys or guitar.
