What's the bass/instrument you have had longest?


Recommended Posts

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 🤣 IMG_20240527_193144.thumb.jpg.991b2453dc2308591bedbc4dd8a98074.jpg
