Cleaning up and restringing the Road Warrior with some old clean strings I had laying around cause it's coming up to 30 years with this bass, and needs a full refurbish but still plays good and man, it's like memory lane.

"Aw, you still got duct tape adhesive on you from when I used to tape up your strap and input cause it falls out, even when we replaced your whole input, which still don't make any sense"

"Remember that gig where we was playing to thousands of people and you dropped out during soundcheck and I got worried but you got through the whole gig fine?"

"Remember that gig where there was only 3 people with their arms folded yelling 'you suck' and we didn't give a shit?"

"Remember when the drummer decided to do an extended solo at some benefit gig and we joined in cause we was bored and you busted a pickup but my friend fixed ya?"

"Remember when that dude tried to take you from me when we was sleeping on that park bench and you jabbed him in the ribs good?"

"Remember when we was in like 9 bands at once, and you proved you could funk, metal, punk, soul, pop, hip hop and everything else I threw at ya?"

"Remember when you flew off the car on the highway and I was 'oshit' and you was fine and only one string went outta tune and you got through the gig fine? Course ya do. That's how you got your name."

"Remember when you saved me from that flying whisky bottle cause we accidentally booked a gig at a place that had all them harleys outside and probly should have had chickenwire? We never packed up and grabbed the pay so fast in our lives."

"Remember when we jumped off the stage at that punk club and you clonked that nazi good? And that other time we did it? And also all them other times? Man. What is it with them places and their crappy security?"

Meeeeeemmmooorreeeeeeeees

Man, I can even tune em by muscle memory alone. Gotta admit, I got a little emotional playing em again, cause it's like I was built for this one.

I uh, won't put a pic up cause they're kinda distinctive and I'm betting there's a few people remember getting on the wrong side of my baby. Heheheheheheheheh. (kisses the undefeated champion of the road)
