First “real” bass was a 73 Fender Jazz with Roto66s. That’s what my hero played. Added a fretless P neck in 1976 because I thought it was cool. Realized that the Rotos were digging grooves in the fingerboard. Tried GHS Precision flats, Sound was okay . EMG active pickups, Badass bridge, brass nut. In 2011 bought an MIM Precision. There was my sound. Swapped necks and haven’t looked back. Sold the modified J for peanuts(good riddance) .Turns out I’m a P bass guy

Late 1980s outside party (when I could get away with just a vest) and a couple weeks ago at a funky little brewery in Newburyport Massachusetts USA

Assuming that they can play(well), he/she must have a good sense of humor and a pleasant smile, even when the ceiling is falling on us
