Had a busy week, but anyway...

DH 163...I think we all know this one by now... :D Image

DE....This one too... :) Image

Not to forget, the long suffering 67, still looking for love some 3 years after being found... :roll:
Image

Dazza, DH 156 and 158 also came from down under, so I think it's possible this run was all bound for Oz.

Hi guys,
been away for a week or so...hence the delay.
I dont own DA24 any more having sold it some years ago to pay for one of our many trips to my wifes dads place over in Canada.
It was a good bass but rather too delicate for gigging any longer and since my father in law recently passed away I have great memories of hiking around Vancouver Island with him thanks to that bass.
Then there was Wints RM that I sold to keep up with the mortgage in 1980...(sounds just like 2008!)...and then there was the John lodge RM DD458 that had a bend in the headstock plus a re-fitted fretboard. That last one went to a collector way back in 1983.
So for now its down to my two CS basses and the FG V63.
(CS #2 is being re-finned as we speak...Maurice Gibb style! but more later)
I only came across the thread a moment ago so I will post the pics tomorrow!

Is Morse Code for Rose Morris Rickenbacker just "dot dot dot dot dot" ?

But how would you represent the 12th fret in that string?

Ronn, gotta ask: What is the tune you are playing with a capo? And why?

Wasn't there a posting about Paul and the high placed capo used for Tomorrow Never Knows? I think it was in the Groovy Beatles Pictures thread.
