    I bought a fretted, real Club Bass in 1966 down in South Florida for $365 w/case. It was excellent, however, I sold it when I had un unexpected invitation (draft notice) to join the military starting in 1969.

    Jack: "I can't wait to play the one with the leopard skin print". Rob: "Sorry, Jack, but that's not going to happen. This is a serious video. We can't have people cracking jokes and saying that you look like a mafia hitman with a ridiculous leopard skin bass. Just stick to the script and play the other basses and no one will make fun of our video.
