Hello from California!

Postby matt.e. » Tue Feb 11, 2014 1:05 pm

Just a quick note to say hello and post a teaser pic. I'm at work so I can't write too much. Thanks for having me!

Thank you for the welcomes! I'm pretty sure it is a Stradette

I've had it since '86 or so and it's been used and abused. It is an absolutely beautiful sounding bass when it's working. It's a bit beat up and needs a little tlc. I've been carefully removing stickers that my teenage/20's self put on and hope to restore it eventually. I didn't really know anything about it (other than it has Mosrite knobs) until this last Sunday when I spent quite a few hours digging around on the internet. My search led me to Hallmark's website and this forum.
