This is an old band of mine from back in the day. I'm in the Jesus and Mary Chain shirt. Unfortunately, you can hardly see my hair in this one.

I'm also about 50 lbs heavier nowadays. Everything sorta went south after 30...

Hehe, nice! Thanks for being a good sport, J.

I didn't properly appreciate the Cure at the time beyond a few songs. I was more into the punk end of things (I listened to Minutemen, Husker Du and Meat Puppets a whole lot, and still love that stuff). I like the Cure now, though. Haven't listened to JAMC in forever, I need to revisit them.

I've still got some Jane's and Rage. But even back when that pic was taken, I felt that the two best bands in the world were The Cure and The Clash. Not exactly a matched set. Well, okay; and Echo and the Bunnymen. And maybe Velvet Underground. And Indochine, of course.


Oh, and the Specials. Definitely. And the Pogues. Always the Pogues.

So yeah, I was a little... Scattered.

Greenbay is the only team that worries me and that's because they can score just as well as we can. Most of the teams we've played this year have a hard time keeping up with the Saints offensively. There were a couple of games where we just didn't play good football, but the Black & Gold has done very well this year. And yea, I dislike those damn cheeze heads too!

The Vikings will be back. They need to find stability in the QB position again though.

Only had time for a quickie :)
So I tossed her on a stand and went for it.

Just took a fast snap shot earlier today to update on the sellers image I posted last week.
Not the best bass Photo in the world, But it does the trick.

I truly am lucky to have bought this USA 44-07 as my first Lakland.
This is an amazing bass, I love it!

The link shows a listing of a bass that was "upgraded to CS pickups." Is that still a 55-94?

I just looked up the serial number on my 55-94 and my wife bought it for me in 2000!

It's definitely not a 55-94 because it has different pickups and no preamp. The controls are passive vol/vol/tone just like mine. Awesome bass, I don't miss the preamp at all!
