How long have you owned you main player ?

[Dave R]

I bought my '73 Jazz in '76. Been playing it for 32 years.
I bought my '73 Ric in '76. Been playing it for 32 years.
I bought my '69 Jazz in '76. Been playing it for 32 years.

Must've been a very good year for bassists. And basses.

Wow, that's in beautiful shape for a 40 year old bass. Is that the original finish?
