Both of my vintage bass guitars were gifts!
1964 Vox Phantom IV teardrop
Check out the bass guitar that propelled Lips to stardom! Or at least was a great conversation piece!

At one point, Link Wray’s bassist called me to buy it, but I could not part with her at the time…
I now sport a 1969 Gibson EBO–a short-scale, lighter-weight bass,
more suited to my feminine needs.
