Jazzneck Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Hello to all of you from yet another oldie! Same old story - played bass from 1964 till early 1970 then stopped to get married, have family, pay mortgage etc. restarted in 1996 and now I thoroughly enjoy playing again (particularly as I have retired from the day job). I'm lucky enough to have: 1980/82 MM Stingray - Natural with fretted R/W board. (now having taken it apart and checked the date stamps!) 1967 Fender Mustang - white refin. 1967 Ampeg AEB scroll - red s/b. 1963 Hofner Professional 182 - red. My own bitsa - Jazz necked Precision body with my old mid '60s hardware and pickup! Ampeg V4BH with 4x10 HLF Ampeg HPT 115 Sansamp Bass Driver. (A cracked sense of humour and a full head of hair even if it is starting to thin out a bit and going grey - no teeth though!) Edited June 10, 2011 by Jazzneck Quote
