Unfortunately, no. I just searched "Ed Gagliardi" and found that one, in that small resolution, and thought it might be the one you were looking for. Perhaps the image will spark someone else's memory and they will find a better picture...

I think they just told you...
They told me about DA23, which is fine, I love info regarding Paul McCartney, but I was wondering what happened to DA24, Pete's bass.

Did you hold the MARF IV meeting in a kitchen?

Yes! The kitchen area in the back room at Pick of the Ricks was the "jam room" with several amps set up. The main area of the store had all the wall hangers filled and several tables filled with participant's Rickenbackers. I've been to two of the three that Chris and Shelby have hosted there, and they're a great time! Oh, and they even had donuts and other goodies in the kitchen!

I sold DA24 to a collector years ago to fund a trip to Canada.
The letter from Mr.Hall definitely has the bass as Jan 1961.
In the photo it has a reissue HS which replaced the DiMarzio that someone put in!
I believe its the bass on page 3 of The Bass Book which came out a year after I sold it and in that photo
it has an original HS as far as I can tell.
It was a good bass but very delicate with some hairline cracks showing up at the fretboard/neck joint near the headstock
which is why I stopped gigging with it.
I dont collect basses and I just need playable gig worthy guitars ( hence my eagerness to see an accurate RM replica made) so off it went.

It is certainly not like any kitchen you may have been to.

Well, then Mr. Hall (F.C. or John?) was incorrect. According to the Smith book, the serial codes for January 1961 would be AA. DA would be for January 1964. Besides, it appears that the earliest twin pickup bass that we've been able to document was from November 1961, and the new cast-aluminum tailpiece/bridge/mute assembly appears to have been developed in early 1962(?).

After all these years, I never noticed that Paul's bass didn't have a tugbar!
They must not have had any lefty tugbars made up yet.
