Should be. 25 & 26 were a few years earlier than this serial number.
If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?

I’m pretty certain that it was one of those that I learnt to play bass on as a teenager; well the same base model but what I used was silver plated and with artistic engraving on the bell. Wish I’d never have let that instrument go, but it belonged to the youth band and I left to join the world of work.
