That's a hard cover version of "The Book" cherish it!
That the nice people in this club find a way to meet each other in the flesh all over the world never ceases to amaze me, it's something very special, very touching.
All because we love these basses so much.

It’s an absolute honor to have some new friends here.
This place is full of good hearted people.
I’m also touched V. ♥️
 
Here’s that pic of Uwe and Edith.

And a pic of Rinus Gerritsen playing Radar Love on the original EB-3 that he used for the studio recording of that same song. He was joined by my wife Floor on lead vocal. And my former band mate Mick on guitar. And Edward on drums.

Yes, that's the pic of you, Uwe and Edith :)
What a cool event!
 
100 Watts, cheap Marshall ss guitar head, doesn't bring anything significant on the used market. My Wing Chun Sifu asked me to get it repaired and sell it for him. It still needs the reverb addressed, but I sat it on a 115 cab after getting the problem channel fixed, and gave it a run.
This little booger sounds pretty good! And it's dang loud. Looks like it might be a pretty good back-up and small gig head. It's got a decent overdrive channel, and I gotta admit I'm liking the Marshall logo, kind of a fun nod to Lemmy, my grandfather in rock n roll... And I don't need the reverb...
I'm also needing to take myself a little less seriously these days, and this is kind of like taking a swipe at the stuffy aspect of bass amplification, lol. I do still have my Eden, which I like. But this is kinda fun. And the overdrive kinda kills...

I’m kinda partial to the logo as well.
 
Did the late 70s Greco birds come with a bridge cover? I see some with and some without. The ones without, don't have holes in the body to indicate they did have one once.
My early 80's Greco TB-900 has the holes for a bridge cover, but no clue if that was original or if a previous owner added a cover.
 
Found another 1978 Greco II at only $890. Looks in great shape but waiting to get confirmation that it's all original and no neck issues.

I need to put you on retainer as a broker so you can find one for me when the time comes. That ‘05 Studio you helped with has turned out to be a great Thunderbird.
