Welcome Bill, I used to have three Smith BSRGN's a while back.

[Deep Thought]

Welcome Bill-I doubt I'm the only one here, but I was in your neck of the woods a few years ago-was planning to go to Daytona, but after a long day at Kennedy we were too knackered. Loved Florida-hoping to go again soon-maybe I'll make it then.

[Telebass]

What Deep Thought said, but in 1992! We did get to Daytona, though!
Also 56, playing for longer than I care to think about, but resolutely stuck on Precisions! Markbass, though? The way to go. Great amps.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Central Florida has Disney, the Speedway, the Space Center AND Bass Central...all the needs in life LOL
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio. Loved the city but tired of the weather, been in sunny Fl since '87
I was lucky enough to have a Fender Pbass as my first bass in '66, loved that thing. I've had a couple, but currently don't have one.
Although a P/J 5 is a major gas producer 0:)
