Fab photo - love it! I still have the Aria Diamond bass I bought in the early 1980s which would make for a very boring photo! Keith

Obviously the vast majority have moved on but I get a buzz from remembering them.
I forgot one, a blue Fender Mustang bass, with a go faster stripe.
It was a US one. Funnily enough I preferred the Japanese, red one, I did remember.

The first "name" bass I got, was when I got a tax rebate, at 16 y.o. It was a Gibson EB2, semi.
£110, it cost. Be worth a lot more now.

Amazing- the first guitar that I bought was also a Columbus Telecaster Bass in about 1973. After awhile I replaced the body with one I made at school from teak and added a Guild humbucker. It was the first guitar that I sold- below is the chap who bought it from me- now a professional bass player/teacher. maybe that bass started off both our careers!

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
