Bill can give you the story. That bass is featured in the book! (page 36-37)

Sure. I ordered it May or June of '82 and it came in around August or September. I have the receipt somewhere. They wouldn't ship it with a black pickguard and trc as white was standard so I ordered the black at the same time. a few months or so later I added the Bartolini and mini toggles and installed them with the black guard and trc. Interestingly, the serial number dates to 1981. Here's a rare pic with the original white plastic from November '82.

Hey Bill, who's that skinny kid playing your bass?

So cool that you've had the bass from new to now! It looks great with both color pickguards,and it's really interesting to see how much the finish has ambered over the years,i am hoping my '04 Cii will do the same. I guess since you've had it for over 30 years,you must really love it!

Yep, I do love it. It's gigged and recorded a lot and is still in great shape and the ambering makes it that much cooler.
Paul, wish I was still that skinny kid.

You and me both. I mean, I wish I was young and lean again, too.

It's been a crazy year for me, but I did manage to get out and have a little fun a couple weeks ago.

Sorry about the ****** cell phone pix.

I was going to say that bass looks familiar. Actually I was just a temporary caretaker in it's life. I like the three-fisted drinking singer....
