Old Porn - gone but not forgotten

[Stingray5]

I was looking through a bunch of old photos and came across a few reminders of some
previously-owned basses -- and a few guitars, sorry! -- which I thought I'd post here.
These were owned from between the early 70's through to about the early 90's.
Of those shown, the only one I still have is the Chappel classical guitar (bought 1980).


Rickenbacker 4001 (bought brand new with case in 1974 for £325 from Music City in Shaftesbury Avenue, London).
Sadly missed, I'd love to have this puppy back again!!


Original Ned Callan 'Cody' bass (before Shaftesbury added their name to the headstock).
Bought mid-70's then converted to fretless a few years later and added DiMarzio pup and coil-tap.


Kramer 450B owned from early to mid-80's.


l-r: Yamaha RBX 200F fretless bass; Casio DG-20; Columbus Tele copy (cheapie with high action used for slide);
Chappel C-101 classical guitar; Ibanez Roadstar; Westone Thunder IIA bass (also greatly missed though I do still have her fretless sister!).


l-r: Kramer 450B bass; Chappel C-101 classical guitar; Chandler P-J custom bass; Tokai 'Breezysound' (brilliant!) Telecaster copy.

Actually, the colour doesn't show too well in the pic but the Chandler P bass was in fact more of a blue finish; can't remember the name but sort of an 'ice-blue'?
The Tokai is one of the instruments I do regret parting with.
Hell, I'd like 'em all back really!

Your Kramer 450b makes me want to don a curly wig & do an Alan Lancaster impression! Cool bass
