Ah, but this thread is about basses we used to own, if you inadvertently post a photo of one you still have you have to give it to me 👍

That one’s a close second 👍

Only condition is they have to be exes 👍

Go for it mate, I meant this to be exactly that, a celebration of how bloody lucky we are 👍

Couldn’t agree more Lawrie, feels more like I loaned each for a while. All beautiful instruments but just that, instruments, or means to an end. The end is the music. If I could have one back it would be the ‘65 which was special, but it went to a very good home. And the Wals probably set me back less than £3k the pair, and that was less than 10 years ago! Happy days 👍

Custom Shop and the real deal ‘57

Custom Shop..,,

‘65

Thanks, looking through old pics tonight, suspect there's a fair few more to come

'69...

And.......

And another..... An '81, a '64, and a '71

Going through some old pics.......

And then Parcel Monkey would have challenged Evri to a dance-off. And won 🕺

They don’t require many mods though, this one has the Retrovibe Stinger circuit which is a plus but the original was also good. Still want that mid sweep though……

I bought an Ampeg V4B about 15 years ago, now in the hands of @silverfoxnik. When it arrived the courier had it on a trolley. I assumed it was a furniture delivery, because it was in a large wooden crate, screwed together and inside it was shockproof in bubble wrap. It took me about an hour to unpack. I messaged the seller who suggested that he thought it crazy that people send valuable music stuff in cardboard, which is ultimately shit. I think he has a point. I still have the wooden crate by the way
