Happy Birthday! Go ahead and have a bass on yourself! I feel the same. Had my 60th last Thursday. Didn't know I'd live this long and and am just glad to be able to do what I do, however poorly.

Have a Happy Bday George!

A most Happy Birthday to you, George!
At 64 I understand the aches and pains thing all too well.

Our very own @Miles_ONeal has a birthday today as well, Happy Birthday Miles!

Thanks all!
Can’t think of a cooler group of folks to celebrate this day with!
 
I was clearing a bunch of [stuff] from my inbox and rediscovered this. Good for a laugh or two. Me and Chicago:

Great photo!
Still can’t forget when I was a know it all smarmy a** high school stoner (around 1973/74ish) and dated Chicago’s producers daughter out at Caribou Ranch in Colorado. Not knowing who Chicago was but hearing them practice live at the Ranch studio, I made the brilliant comment that their music sounded “sappy”. They suggested she get a new boyfriend, good news is they didn’t beat the snot out of me right then and there.
 
Milestone birthday - I just turned a ripe old 65 years today! Other than waking up to aches and pains in places I didn’t even know I had, I’m hanging in there still vertical and most importantly still pluckin away.

As a little present to myself I snagged an interesting wenge/wenge Jazz bass neck for the eventual NR build (if I find a suitable body). Love the look, feel and open pores of an unfinished wenge neck along with the low mid focus they usually have. I do now have a line on a suitable NR body, so if it materializes later this week I might be back in business on a unique NR build for 2023.
happy Birthday G!

Happy birthday, birthday buddy! 67 for me, and it’s Sharon’s and my 45th anniversary. I got my birthday bass (the Greco) a couple of weeks early. <3
