I"ve had this bass for 20 years.I bought it at a music store in the philadelphia area in 1998.It is a beautiful instrument made with birdseye maple top and bottom and mahogany core with purple heart though the neck.I would like a little history,and previous ownership info.Its a 1982 model.

Welcome to the club!

Sometimes it takes Mica a while to do a records search but hang in there, you will get a response. Meanwhile everyone here likes to look at pictures of the instruments. If you post a few someone may notice something unique to your instrument and point it out to you. Lots of good info contained in the forums here, too.

Thanks Stephen.I tried to post a pic but most are 1.90 MB and the size limit is 500KB.Any info about solving this would be apprieciated.

Yes, welcome! You can make a copy of the photo, then open the file using "paint" or similar program and resize the photo.  Then upload the resized photo.  That's how I do it.  If you have trouble you can email me the photo and I will resize and post for you. 

thanks rv,ill try that and if I have a problemI will email a pic to you.Thanks for the help.
