Not affiliated- fascinated how clean the back is.

Thought that was my old Distillate for a minute. :o
Man; I recall when Mike (dadabass) was selling his Distillate 75% closer to me. Doesn't seem all that long ago, but it he was asking $4499 less.

Haven't heard from Mike in awhile. Hope all is good.
Cannot believe how clean that back is!
Mine (1981) is all torn up. Brass plate pretty much scratched up and plenty of swirls/ light gouges in the bodies back side.

I reached out to Mike via e-mail; he assures me he's doing well. Besides his day gig at Meier, he says he is doing session work, and still plays the occasional gig with Noah Gabriel Band.

Peter thank you for the update.
If we had another Chicago Gathering we can see how much older we all are. (Hint hint) 😃
