IIRC #1 and #3 are in the 60's. I walk/move like 80's. I hate being passed by 70 year olds!
Huh - that's nothing1 I used to do that in the snow and was barefoot and pregnant as well!!! no wait.....
I'm 63, my mother has dementia, my knees and hips still work, and I shave when I get laid.
I'm in constant allergy season, fiscally conservative, and also don't care what anyone else thinks.
I am learning to not argue with fools.

OK Jon how do I reference the GOF club in my posts. I simply can't remember.
go to "my talk bass" and then "edit signature".
If I don't get a number soon, things are going to get ugly.
See what I did there?
BTW, my first bass amp was a Music Man 130HD that I bought new. So, I'm old enough.
#45 hasbeen Honored to have you here
My "first rig" was a 50 watt Newcomb class A school PA amp I reworked and a 12" EV 3/4 bass reflex HiFi cab. Worked nicely in Jazz Band latter.

hasbeen has you covered!
That's enough out of you, punk! Most of us will still be able to kick butt in 30 years, so you better get ready.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Saw a kid in my yard yesterday. Chased him down and planted his face in the snow. (Let that be a warning to you, CLPeavey! Some of us old bassturds are tougher than we look.)
Not even close to being old enough. My third real amp was a brand new 130HD! The first was a used blackface Bassman. 50 watts and a rectifier tube...worthless for bass guitar.hasbeen said:

The memories sounded better and didn't weigh as much.

Indeed. Gotta enjoy 'em while I can still lift 'em!

If you get there before me would you kick the devil's butt and get the restraining order lifted so I'll have a place to go?
Played my first gig (at Dick Grass's Teenage Nite Club) 50 year's ago - I was 14 years old. Never stopped playing.
Unindited felon (ah the 70's). Bald, retired, a little crippled, and grinning every day. C&S 27 years.
1000 watt "practice" amp (I like lots of headroom).
"You call that crap music???!!!! I'll show you REAL music!!!!!" To my 13 year old daughter as I put on a Neville Brothers CD.
Am I in?
