gary mac Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Just found this old polaroid snap taken in my bedroom circa 1973-74. Image quality not brilliant but hopefully good enough to see. [attachment=81344:new_doc_1_1_.jpg] Selmer Goliath 4 x 10" purchased second hand. 50 Top amp purchased new from a record/music shop in Hoddesdon. The Epiphone was my 15th birthday pressie from mum and dad. I can still remember tearing the wrapping paper off the case, releasing the catches and opening it up to get my first look at it. Actually I can still recall the smell of it as well. I wonder if any of it still survives. I sold the bass to a friend of my brother but as for the amp and cab, just can't recall.

Trying to sort it now but I fear the pic may be too small to be of much use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
