Wish I was rich too. Spent too much on my toys to have a holiday this year.
Good to see you back George. Where've you been?

Hi Graeme!!
I just couldn't come up with anything good to say for a while-and to tell the truth, certain members posts became rather tedious and almost offensive so, I decided to wait until I had something sensible to say.
The post about old basses certainly stirred my interest hence the posting ( I also wanted something profound to use as my 1000th post).
I'm not gigging anymore---at the moment so things are quite tight.
My 75 P bass is a stonker mind you!!

Keep in touch

Hey Rusty!
Thanks buddy---your SC is a beaut as well!!!

Oh! and for those interested, my 76 Series has Abalone inlays with Silver surrounds!!
I assume that this was a custom addition at the time.

Happy birthday----again to your Europa Will!!!
