3. Having long, brown hair
4. Playing a Peavey amp
5. Playing with a pick

Nice, this is the same bass from the other pic right?
Love that bass!

Oh yeah, that too. Now I wear the equally-hated Hawaiian shirts. I wore them to work almost every day.

Same bass. Same hair.

Do you still own this bass or is it long gone?

Heres my May 63 and my September 65...

D Bopp, you have always had the sweetest gear.

My "Number One", '65 Precision mongrel...rare see-through blonde ash body, original hardware, Warmoth Jazz-width flame neck, Lollar PU. The best bass I've played in 40+ years of trying to hold down the low end.

The amp is a late 1961 Dual Showman set up for bass with E-V 15BX speakers.

WOW!

My 64 Jazz, refinished body, otherwise 100% original

So excited to get to post in this thread finally! New one: '61 neck on a '65 body. Pre-CBS where it counts. (and if you could feel that neck, you'd agree with me)
