Day late and a Dollar Short, as usual. they played Fenders, but then had a deal with Mosrite. My first bass was a Ventures Model..Mosrite…4 Stringer. I sold it and picked up a ’64 Fender Jazz bass. Still use it to this day, but i wish I still had the Mosrite. It’d be a great collecter’s edition these days. At 16 I made a lot of stupid guitar decisions. (someday I’ll expose my idiocy to you all, but not today. ha ha ha) I could do a whole piece on that. Live and learn. Speaking of pieces, Rick. I have one in the works, as you know. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll have time to finish it off… BTW, I don’t sell anything now.
