I got my first bass in 1968. Played ever since. Finally got proficient on fretless and still play fairly regularly between a few different band situations. Still love playing bass!

Doesn’t appear straight here.

Approximate weight?

Well if and when you do it a pic would be nice.

Did you remove the back seat?

My prayers for your Bride’s Mom. I pray she is looking into the eyes of our Lord in person.

What an absolutely beautiful bass guitar.

I had been playing fretted bass with my eyes closed for a couple decades. It made me realize that my hands knew what to do. That’s how I approached fretless. I listen for pitch issues, but rarely look at the neck. When I do it’s mostly for something like an octave jump. 50 yrs on one instrument...

Consider the Fender Rumble 800 combo. 400 stand-alone watts into 2-10s and 800 watts at 4 ohms w/ext cab. I’ve never needed an extension and it’s very full featured.

That was my exact gear setup in 1972. I was a huge Jack Bruce fan at the time.

Will pray that the Lord’s mercy pour over all your family.

Beautiful. That’s the first instrument I ever bought/owned. Got it in ‘68. That and a Kustom 100 amp. Played my first gig with it about 6 months later. Been playing ever since. I later traded to an EB-3 once I discovered solid bodies as I was kinda small at 16.

Hallelujah that, bass brother.

My personal fave is a Fender Precision, but that’s just me.

I absolutely love your story my bass brother. I’m so glad I asked, because the answers are inspiring AND exciting. Thank you for responding. You’ve made my day!
