Bass player since 1967. I first started playing with a surf band in Long Beach, CA. Our third gig was at Sam's Seafood in the banquet room for a private party (no joke). I currently play a 1996 Fender P-Bass (50th anniversary) My favorite bass was a 1965 P-Bass I used all through the '70's and sold in 1982. When I got rid of it, the finish was completely worn off the back of the neck & the frets were down to the fingerboard. Not bad for a bass I payed $125.00 for in 1971 in brand new condition w/ original Fender hard case! I'm working on mastering ukulele. Have limited experience on theremin playing in Jerry Kreagle & the Cadillacs in 1970/71. Kick_the_Reverb...Surf bands in Israel!?! There's hope yet! I used to play in a band with a guitarist/songwriter from Lebanon who split the country when the sh*t hit the fan and moved to South Africa and scored a hit record there in the early '70's called "Atomic Woman". What a long, strange trip it's been.
