...that I had left my '63 P sitting around in some public facility for a few weeks, and when I remembered where it was, I came back and found that the bass had been stripped - only the body and neck (mounted, with neck plate) were still there.
(Hey, it was a dream, doesn't have to be logical.)
So in that dream, I thought about how I should respond. I decided it was my own darn fault for leaving it there...and it's a nice bass, but there are thousands out there as good as that one. Vintage basses bring big $ but they're no better than good new ones.
I decided to just be calm, sell the body and neck separately on Ebay, take the $$ generated and go out and buy a nice replacement or two.
But - the one thing I wouldn't sell was the neck plate, since it had the original LXXXXX serial number on it. If I sold it, someone could counterfeit a '63. So I decided to keep the neck plate as a momento.
I'm not sure whether that dream means I'm too logical, or just logical enough. At least the dream didn't involve underwear or missing classes.
