Found my old belt buckle!!

Weight?

I've still got mine

I bought a Stingray in my senior year of high school (1978). The music store guy was very cool and gave me a matching belt buckle to go along with my bass. Sadly, my Stingray was stolen while I was on tour and I thought I’d lost my belt buckle sometime soon afterwards. So imagine my surprise when I found my old belt buckle as we pack to move to a new house!

I doubt if it’s worth much in terms of dollars, but it’s definitely priceless to me.

Can you tell, I started on guitar in the late '70s;

I could never use this dang thing, because I would of had to put my belt on, going the wrong way,
otherwise the guitar would be upside down.
What were they thinking!?

 

[Tommy Sparks]

Haha, I have the same one.
Don’t remember where I got it, was a long time. Need to dig it out.

Ha! I never thought about the buckle being reversed. It was made in Taiwan, which is south of the equator, so much like their toilets flowing backwards compared to us northern “hemispherians” maybe they buckle their belts backwards, too.

Now that I think about, Jimi would have approved it being upside down

I hope you feel connected!

As you started to describe it I remembered exactly what mine looked like. I will have to look this weekend and see if I still have it.

 

[bwoodman]

I have the same exact one too - it's in a box somewhere, but I still have it - bought it at a local mall around 1978-1979....

It would get very messy, if their toilets flowed backwards.

And what pops up on CL two days later and half a continent away. Spooky!

You are right! I think I saw one of these in a CBGB's men's room once! ( kidding, that buckle is boss )

Pretty friggin' cool!

 

[bcbassman]

I had one too! Don't ask me to find it but i remember the same buckle. I never put mine on a belt but I should have.
It was my first Stingray too.

I have one of those too. I found it a few years ago in the local guitar shop:
