#1 Time bass

Alan made this for me in 1976-77. I paid for it in bits and pieces from gigs. He took the measurements for the neck from my '62 Precision. We picked a nice piece of black walnut, checkerboard binding, all the trimmings.
I had to sell it in 1983. I was young, broke, with my wife pregnant.
I was visiting Burlington in 2005 and there it was in a music store. I bought it without thinking twice. I've owned some nice basses but this is still the prettiest. Alan was a real gentleman.
