'68 Special

This is my beloved 1968 Fender Precision bass.

It is as old as me.

This is the only bass I ever recorded with or used live which is quite amazing seeing as it has managed to sound so different over the years. It chimes, it growls and it weighs a ton...how the hell did I ever jump about with this round my neck?

It has been everywhere with me and I'm sure it could tell some stories. I bought it second-hand from a music shop sometime around 1986 and know nothing of the previous owner(s). I have often wondered what it got up to before it waved at me from the shop window.

It currently hangs from the wall waiting to sing again.
