We had the same look strat bass and a matching stratocaster electric guitar, probably the same sweaty phat ass like you 😂 ours is black color though, we ended up selling those equipment for a cheap price after our drummer called it quit as he deserved a better band.
Ever since, I've been on freelance or attending a temp gig instead whenever someone needed a filler to slot in, and I will go for free beer or a 50 RM fee(that's like $10 😂) for a 2 hour gig.
I still maintained a Yamaha ERB-II bass currently, and a series of jazz guitars, full hallow, semi hallow, a flying V, an SG, a kid size classical guitar, and one practice grade classical guitar I am still playing for church every Saturday. Gift away my Baldwin Les Paul to my nephew, a strat to my bro in law, an electric full hallow jazz to another nephew, donated another strat to a charismatic church. Oh I have a broken violin and a broken banjo somewhere around the house. Not sure what to do with them.
