Ooops. I must have transposed the numbers as I typed them.

[risingson]

I'm 20 now, but I was 19 the other day... so I feel old in spirit now!

Aren't you as old as the Woman you feel.

[thebeat]

I was 45 in March....but it still look hot ....Dad? if you're up there reading Basschat, which is unlikely i must admit, thanks for not making me do a paper round.

[The Bass Doc]

OK this is me at age 60 (two years ago). The bass is my main gigger a 63 Precision (with added Di Marzio Jazz - sorry!) The bass has been playing the same length of time as me but as you will see is in slightly better condition than I am. The relicing is entirely natural in the case of the bass but in my case there was some deliberate damage caused by tabs & beer.[attachment=23746:Mouth_of_the_Tyne.jpg]

Yes and my dear (meaning expensive) wife is 35, aren't I lucky. Mind you, I've told her when she reaches 36 I'm trading her in for two 18 year olds

Carry on like that and you'll look as battered as your bass in no time

[Shonks]

great!! I thought I was the oldest at 55, but I'm just a baby round here!!

Still as my old mum used to say:

Are you joking? Surely you've just mixed the numbers the wrong way round mate.

[quote name='OldGit' post='461353' date='Apr 13 2009, 05:37 PM']ha ha yeah and I'm 110110[/quote]

what you mean 27?

I'm 17 but i do feel a lot older than i am, in a bad way.

I thought this may be misconstrued. What i meant to say was did you mean to put 24 as opposed to 42, a common typing error?

Aha I see. I wish it was a typo. But no, I'm genuinely a '66 vintage.

[sixshooter]

I am 4 years older than my oldest Bass! The 51 does not count because it is a RI!

Hey Howard
That "relicing" must have cost you a fortune!!! (on you i mean not the bass ha ha!!) loving the bassface we all pull em!!!!
great to see ya in action - lee

[The Bass Doc]

Cheers Lee. Yeah the expression on the face makes me look very serious but I was smiling on the inside - I always do when I've got a gig - it' still the best thing in the world to do (but don't tell the missus)

Well i guess it depends on which way round you read it?

[12stringbassist]

50

[phsycoandy]

Me too 50 and still at it!

[yorks5stringer]

54 but still feel like I'm 18.......as the avatar shows if you surround yourself with an attractive female and a bald guitarist you can look quite young!

51, so just a youngster. Still got my own hair and teeth (but my ears are totally wrecked)
