Nice sailor hat, Richard.

Jerry, it was a homecoming jam for a friend who had just returned from a 10 month tour of the Persian Gulf, courtesy of the U S Navy.

Love that left-handed CW12, Richard! Very vintage-looking fireglo...

Hi Simon, long time no hear! Cool photos. You certainly kept me guessing with that 4001; looked like it may have been related to one of Lemmys. Which is a good thing in my book....and bring on the Azure photos!

Me in 93 when I was skinny and had hair...

Me in 94 (?) with my old Azure (now belongs to a friend who has named it "the Beast")...

Me last year, wearing my bass too high for me (doubtless the reason for the frown)...

last week^

And one more......

Not having dug back into the archives, I'd say that is a bass between 1968 and 1971, yes, Shaun?

Great pics! Beautiful FG Shaun.

Cheers guys! The bass is a Feb 72, and my favourite bass. Light as a feather in Ric terms and relatively mellow-sounding.

Thanks, Shaun. That helps date the production change to the skunk stripe and from the walnut headwings. My June '72 has the stripe.

Paul, the earliest that I've played with a skunk was Neil Brewer's (of Druid) May 72. I did once play a December 72 Jglo that I'm pretty sure didn't have one though; I guess that may have just slipped through the net somehow!

Not one of me but id thought id post one of the kids. Ive posted these before but id thought you'd like em( the rics not the kids ) Unofficially known as the "Baillie Band"
