Don't be so harsh on yourself, Mark, in a way many of your pasttimes today are of very adult nature!
Yeah, when my father turned 50 in 81 I thought, "gosh, now he's ancient ...". Never mind, he still thinks I do childish stuff even though he's now 81.
I never had complaints about the Kramer, still have it, still play it (since the mid-eighties it has EMGs and not the original Schaller Model 2 rip-off, look, I was young and obviously had too much money!). It's a bass that through its sheer weight and unbalancedness separates the men from the boys. And our then-drummer playing on it with his sticks during his drum solo was an integral highlight of our show.try thatz with another bass!
