plus a few guitars and a keyboard ... and lots of amps ... I can't vouch that the order is correct ...

Damn I must have G.A.S.

I owned, in order: Kay's then Eko's, then Rickenbackers, then Ovations, then Gibsons, then Takamines, then Fenders, then Danelectros, then Gretschs.

The models I recall too, and the date I bought them, and who I bought them from, and how much I paid, and the serial numbers.

I have a system I call: "Guitars.xls"

Carlo Robelli Jazz Bass Copy - my beginner bass

79 Ric 4001 JG - main gigging bass for years

mid 70's Fender Jazz - next main gigging bass for years

Kramer xl 8 - saved forever for this, stolen after three weeks

Ibanez explorer - loved the look, hated the bass

mid 70's fretless precision -wish I still had it

Peavey (not sure of model Number) - purely backup but coulda been a collector's item(story behind it)

Fernandez 5 string - I'm gonna stop after this as my bass playing went into hiatus for years at this point.

My 68 Candy Apple Red P bass was a factory fretless until I put Rotos on it! I wish I still had that also.

What's the story on the Peavey, Marc? I'm a big fan of the T series basses.

"My 68 Candy Apple Red P bass was a factory fretless"

Sounds like that was a rare one! Oops.
