From what I understand it was used to switch between batteries on an RV and was proudly shown off while claiming "That'll hold some amps"

Obviously that's an ellectrical kill switch for an "on the cheap" dirt track car.

(These guys were remarkably good for actually being pretty close to twelve. By now they can get into bars... I wonder if any of them are still playing.)

They say he regretted it - never got another bass that sounded quite like that one.

In reply to oldtin:

I've heard that about the sound as well.
Crazy thing, when my family decided to have our family reunion in the Pasa Robles wine country in 2009 or so, we had my Aunt's bday dinner at an expensive restaurant. As we were shown to our table, m'self, my sister, and my BIL pretty much collectively gasped. A huge copy of that great Pennie Smith photo was in a frame on the wall.

In a restaurant with prices so high. We still call it our "Big Chill" moment ("..are we really this old?!?").

Of course, we had to explain it to the rest of the family..

Wow, what a picture! This is the picture of '70's New Wave! Also arguable a slight picture of early rap as well (oh, how bad Rapture really was.)
