super al Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Here's my Marlin Slammer. Bought in '87 for possibly £99.99? I knew very little about basses or how to play them but soldiered on with this until I bought a Washburn B-15 2nd hand. The Slammer got dusty until my boss at the time borrowed it. He used to be in a local band called the Nite People in the 60s but only had an old Vox valve amp and speaker left. He played it more than I ever did so he lost the knobs and put loads of dings on it. It had chicken head knobs on for ages until I gave it a refurb about 15 years ago with new pups and similar knobs to the originals. I keep it out of nostalgia as it still sounds awful, currently hanging on the wall of shame 😄 The combo I bought to go with it was a pine affair with a wicker front...looked very country, it used to get funny looks and comments when I went to jams 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
