Today I received the Mosrite 1972 bass I bought from dubtrub and it became a double-decker day for seconds after I signed for it the postman handed me a package from Amazon which contained the book "WALK-DON'T RUN...the STORY of The Ventures"! What a great beginning for my "new" life as a Mosrite owner!
Those of you that would like to see photos of the bass, go to the Board index and down on the bottom click on Classified Section > For Sale > FS: 72 Mosrite Bass. They're dubtrub's photos so I won't repeat them but I may post one of me posing with it so that you can see how happy a '73-year-old can look.
Back to coincidences. My birth date is March 18, 1938 or 03/18/1938. The bass's serial number is B0318!
Or B(orn)0318! I may never acquire a THE VENTURES model again, but now it's a moot point. Old rock 'n' rollers never die!
Thanks all for the kind words and good wishes, I appreciate them. As an added plus, I put my Dillion on eBay and it has a bid for more money than I paid for it but it also has 13 watchers so there may be a bidding war with snipers waiting for the bell! Anything over what I paid for it lessens my cost for the Mosrite making it one heck of a deal and more reason to celebrate, yeah, yeah!
vibramutant1965, my wife and I have had, for at least a couple of decades, a subscription to the state lottery using our birth dates and, trust me, my/our numbers may come up long after we're gone! However, to give your suggestion a a chance I'll tell my brother in Ocala to take a chance on my numbers. Thanks for the tip.
