Any chance you liked the Beatles back then Bill? Look at all those posters. LOL

Ok this one will cover the "others'. This one was taken before the ones with the 4000 posted earlier. This is late '68 or early '69. I traded in this '62 or '63 (can't remember now) P bass on the Rick. The acoustic hanging on the wall was a $30 Stella.

Awesome pics Ken. Why did you trade the P-Bass for the 4000?

'62 or '63 P-basses are how much now?

Me too.... The instruments I played in my "yoot" weren't even guitars, LOL!

It might take a while to find those old photos..... Never had much time to get into scrapbooking, so all the non-digital pics are in a big jumbled mess inside of an end-table compartment....

Circa 1988. I was the tender age of 18. That's my 1974 4001 that I still have. The "young artist" stuff is my ex singers handiwork from an old band's now defunct website.

Wish I still had the hair...

"Why did you trade the P-Bass for the 4000?"

I couldn't afford both with my after school jobs and I just had to have the Rick. I wish I still had both considering their value. A couple of years later I made the switch to guitar. Shortly after that I was drafted due to an action in southeast Asia. I didn't pick up the guitar again til about '88 or '89.

Jeff, you look just like that even now, right?
