Haven't seen that one yet but I'll have to watch for it. Saw them about 4-5 years ago when they toured with Journey and Heart. They went first and put on a good show.

Lefty?

It is now. Nah, it's re-strung lefty. My first bass, from my parents, I've had it since about 78.

Very cool bass!

Hi Steve , great pics and great moustache too,btw ( :) )..what is the bass sitting in the stand? Alembic, maybe?

Steve was the one that "quoted" my pics (thanks for the comment Steve, by the way!), my name is Bill. Thanks for your comments also! The other bass on the stand is a Tobias Lefty Pro5 ...

Couple pics from a recent outdoor gig, no they're not reversed.

Not a very good pic, but it's all I have right now. It's a 2008 4003 Lefty Jetglo.

Lately it's been
Rush - Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, Xanadu, lots of other Rush
Pink Floyd - Pigs, Money
Heart - Love Alive, Heartless, Straight On

Hey guys, just another Michigan Rick owner and firefighter here, picked up a new Lefty 4003 JetGlo last year.
