I sold the amp sometime in the early 90's for $300.

OUCH! I feel your pain. I probaly got around $400 for my 64 Jazz.

man... im amazed of these people who played bass for such a long time. I was born on 1984 and you all were pros at that time.
I wish i could continue playing for my hole life and see a kid who reads my posts in this forum with just half of the admiration that im reading yours right now
for those who started so early YOU GUYS REALLY REALLY ROCK.
peace
forgive my english

I quit playing for a period of 16 years while all our kids were growing up.It was too much playing every weekend,working 60 hours a week and raiseing 3 kids.Now at age 54 I usually only gig 2-3 nights a month and hardly ever do 2 nights in a row.That 2 o'clock in the morning going to bed sucks!
