Yea well don't have many - but heres one... I'm in the back with my 1977 RIC (and patriotic tie)... the guitar player in front of me is Barry Graul- who is currently in the Christian group, Mercy Me... they are pretty popular... the second pic are some of the others...

Wow. It's amazing that you're all still here and still play. I'm just a year behind you and have already outlived more of my contemporaries than I'm comfortable with. And despite the multitude of players with decades of experience here on TB a vast majority of people hang up their instruments by 30ish. So bravo, enjoy.

My college band reunited after 25 years. It was almost like using a time machine. We played the old tunes. My theory, technique, tone and overall sound reverted right back to our last show. But not my hairline. Or my weight.... We had such a good time that we now get together once a year.

Congrats. Be proud. Enjoy.

Can I ask what model is that Markbass cab on the bottom? The one with the color matched to woofer horn? Thanks. I really like your set up. 2 P's is a heavenly set up to me.

Thx... bottom cab. is a Traveler 121H. Not all of them have a 'color-matched' horn- I guess it depends on the 'model year'.

Thanks. Took me awhile but Markbass has my full attention now.

Yup- I actually just sold it- about 3 years ago... need Jazz necks for my 'cramping' hands

 

[EmptyCup]

Way cool, looks like you guys are having fun!

Neat stuff.
The 3 other guys I started with in grade school and played out together for 20 plus years The Elk River Band still get together a few times a year to jam. Up until a few years ago we would play out a couple times for charity events.
But we are jamin today.
Enjoy
It's amazing how quickly the groove comes back.
