Well, yeah. But you obviously hadn't been eating fried chicken just before playing either...

Joey - lookin & soundin GOOD!

Thanks all. The shot of the 8 was late in the show - I don't grab it by the horns so the prints are usually around the strings. The folks in the pictures on my amp are my wife and kids... I take 'em to my gigs with me. The headstock on the 4001 is glossy black Testors model paint done when the bass was about a year old (I was like 17 or 18 years old - my first mod) - I still like it!

Getting a little worn

I knew it! That's what you and Tony always do, just before playing your Ricks!

John, I saw a black and white picture of a 4001 with the headstock wings dark - I think it was Mr McCartney but not totally sure - anyhow I thought it looked really cool! So I just masked it off very carefully and painted it with glossy black Testors model paint. That was like in 1975... I still like it and would never go back!

Then again, in Tony's case being in Florida, it's probably fried alligator!

I've actually had fried alligator, not bad! That was in Texas though, might be different in Florida...
