Joe and I were determined to start a band and he had just bought a Fender Stratocaster at a local pawn shop. I had zero denero but was determined. My old roommate Chris and I had traded back and forth for different things and I had ended up with a .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle. I went to a local pawn shop with the hopes of a straight across trade. I fell in love with the late 70's Guild B-301. The pawn shop owner wouldn't trade straight across. Fortunately (for him) I was on my way downtown to pay my electric bill (which was about to be shut off). The bill was for $64 + change. I gave him the cash and the rifle.I sat around my cold dark apartment playing an electric bass guitar without electricity for two weeks.
Here are some original ads that I found.
