The '78 Jbass in 1984 w/Mark Chesnutt singing in my band, "Texas T" at the state fair opening day.
The '69 Jbass around 1994 at the local blues jam

Ha! Close. We were doing Cheap Trick, Van Halen and a host of other 80's covers at the time.
My very first bass was a late 80's B.C.Rich NJ series 4string Warlock. My first gig bass was an early 90's Washburn XB800 w/sycamore top & Status pups(later changed to EMG's). Wish I still had the Washburn.
Right on, Man. I bet that was a blast. I seriously had to go pull up some 80's tunes on Youtube. Lot's of fun music from that period.

My first bass was this Mosrite Ventures model. Got her for $50 in 1971. Never did play much surf music...
Played her until 1977, when I got a Precision and moved to California to take the music world by storm.

Yup... the top pic is an Acoustic 150/301 stack, and the bottom pic is a 360/361 rig with the 150 head on top just for show. Fun times!
Circa 1977 -- Rickenbacker 4001 through Marshall 1/2 stack.
Sorry for the poor quality.
Circa 1980 -- B.C. Rich Mockingbird through MusicMan HD150 head and RH115 cab. This was the sound check before an outdoor gig. Not sure why we always put our cabs up on milk crates back then. Wish I kept this bass and rig.

This thing has some MOJO!
My first bass was this 65 Mosrite Ventures Model that was bought new. This pic was taken a couple of years ago. It was the only bass I played until the early 90's when I started using 5-strings.

I REALLY like these. Any thoughts on the neck profile? Were there knockoffs that I could mod into a 5 string or is the cost one low enough on an original?
The neck is narrow side-to-side so IMO it wouldn't be practical to try to fit a 5th string in there. I wouldn't want to do that to an original Mosrite anyway. Maybe the Eastwood basses have wider necks or are offered in a 5-string version.
