Long lost bass recovered...20 years later

[Spinal Tapper]

Dude, that's a really cool story. And neat pic! I wish I could find my old Squire II I traded a long time ago - it was my first bass ever

 

[EddieN]

Seems an often repeated expression on bass & guitar sites is "wish I still had it." The under-20's here really should take note.

One of my son's friends, 15 or 16 year old rich kid, has a white Les Paul (guitar) with the gold hardware & all, totally deluxe. Wants to sell it & get some Ibanez metal player's pointy thing. May have already done so. Just shook my head hearin' about it.

 

[Valerus]

Whoa, that is awesome!

 

[vinxbass]

WOW!! That's an incredible story, your doing something right these days.

 

[mrniceguy715]

awesome story. I often lament over some of the basses that have passes thru my hands

 

[gibsonbassist45]

i want a les paul triumph bad too

but i find that really nice that you got your bass back. after all those years.its like being taken away from your mother for 20 years than finally reuniting with her over the internet.

[Matt R.]

I'm really glad you were able to get it back. Now take if off the wall and rock that axe. Oh, and good call replacing that carpet.

Hey update your Sig now!

Cool that you found - must have been meant to be!

 

[kesslari]

Very cool. I'm glad for you.

A guy strolls into the shop I take lessons at...turns out the same Gibby Triumph is sitting in the stand that he sold off years ago. Those things are boat anchors but gotta a lot of thump to them.

Before this week I had never seen a pic of these...now I've seen two.

Great story...plug it in and play!!!!

 

[oddgrowth]

Thanks all.

*Yea, the bridge cover is upsidedown in the recent pic.

*I bought my parents house.

*TB wants me to upgrade membership to update my sig.

*This is my 7th bass. Plenty others in the stable to rock.
This one will get the well deserved retirement it deserves.
Unless I start playing in a polka band...
