You have just given it another month’s grace. It doesn’t look like there’s anymore musicians out there, even a drummer.

Difficult to say. It transforms dependent on who I’m duetting with. Probably Brian May’s Red Special would be the most common incarnation.
On odd occasions it will even morph into a drum kit. ‘In the air tonight’ is a case in point.

What is an air guitar?
David
It’s all very embarrassing really but here you go.
Air guitar is a form of dance and movement in which the performer pretends to play an imaginary rock or heavy metal-style electric guitar, including riffs and solos. Playing an air guitar usually consists of exaggerated strumming and picking motions, and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric or acoustic guitar music.

Vox for Beatles, Orange for almost everything else but Marshall if it needs to go up to 11.
There is is an actual championship for air guitar, I kid you not.

Bass player here. First gig in 1968. I’ve been fully pro, semi pro. Studio sessioning, touring sideman. Now in my 70s, I’m still gigging regularly with my originals band that’s been going for 25 years. Main bass is a Nash '63 Precision, I also have a Fender custom shop '60 Jazz, an Epiphone Jack Casady signature, and a Danelectro Longhorn. As for amps, I use a Noble preamp through a Markbass LM and Barefaced cabinets, and an Ampeg PF50t valve amp.

People joke about the combined age of the Rolling Stones band members. I think Bunch of Fives can probably beat them.
The Jazz and the P bass look well worn.

Don’t you mean loved and played? Just the way they should be.
You can buy reliced guitars and road worn, which are partly reliced, but I imagine H61’s guitars are the real thing.
