MY BASS IS OLDER THAN ME CLUB

[bassteban]

Do you have a bass older than you? I do- my DB is, by all reliable accounts, pre-WW-II. I'm circa 1963. Please do not expect me to dole out numbers or pay diddly of attention to this club after the first coupla posts.

Oh yeah! My DB is from the early 1910's. It looks it as well.

I think there was one of these in the basses section, but I think I've also gotten more basses older than me since then so why not. I have a 78 jazz, 78 P, and 78 gibson G3. Plus three 70s and one 60s ampeg amps/cabs. Helps that I was born in the 80s.

OK- don't expect me to keep track of this for long, but I'll try(for awhile ):

As a child of the early 60s I can't afford to join this club

Yeah, I totally lucked into it- I got my DB from a neighboring crank dealer in my first-ever apartment(nice guy, actually- he didn't do the stuff & had owned the bass for many years; when he moved out he sold me the bass & a small pile of accesories for a paltry $150 ).
I'll update the list & #s in a bit.

My MIM Jazz Bass is born the same in the same year as I was, so It could be older by a few months. So does that count? I would like a number if it does.

[i_got_a_mohawk]

My jazz bass is from 1978, im from 1985.

So yes!

Are you *more mature* than your bass?
This club is very inclusive. Notice I do not require pics, & I'd probably give anyone who really wants a bass older than themself an honorary number.
Updated #s.

Edit: I really didn't intend to take this very seriously or expect to *participate* to any great extent, but feel free to share stories &/or pics of your old basses(DBs welcome, of course )

[bassteban]

By all accounts, pre-WW-II.

[Bett]

I have a 1982 T-40. It's got 9 years on me.

[Disraeli Gears]

S'pose this thread is useless without pics, so...



'Tis the one on the left

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Yeah man, you got it right, really need to change my username tho as it isn't really true anymore

Here's mine (along with one of the other babies )

[bassteban]

So am I stupid or is that a big ol' A on the bridge cover- as opposed to the traditional F?

Edit: Either way, very nice.
