Very cool story, Tony. That's what I love about these old guitars---the really good ones always have some history behind them, and it really makes you feel like you're the "holder" of the moment in that instrument's history.
Glad it's in good hands.

Tony, amazing instrument and with a story one couldn't write. I like the way the original center of the FG burst shows where it was covered by the pickguards all these years. A slight reddishness to the maple there. Great find!

Thanks guys!
Here's a pic of the bass with my '64 Deluxe. I have them both on stands next to each other and they're
having a blast catching up!

Wow! Now that's some flame that a confirmed flameaholic like me can appreciate! I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Drumroll......my new 1964 Rose Morris 1999!!!
Seen it, held it, played it at MARF III....Absolutely loved it. I want to compare the weight of this bass to my lefty '69 4001 at the next MARF.........opticnerve wrote:Check out the flame in this pic...

I'm out the door now, but will weigh the bass for you when I get back.
