Is it me or did every single town in the UK have a band called the redcaps in the early sixties?
I bought my 62 precision off the bassist with OUR local redcaps....

Here it is in all its three colour sunburst glory

Aged about 11 I used to hang around behind a club in Brum called the Cavern Club ( spose there was one of them in every town as well ) and can remember the buzz when The Redcaps, and The Undertakers ( another popular name ) were on. Our Redcaps had this guy:
