Looks like a 4003 Natural Walnut with the "deluxe" features: body/neck binding and full width fretboard inlays.

Ummmm. Wouldn't the official model designation be "4003W"?

I'm nearly always sure what's in my hands.
Is this a trick question?

Yes, it was a 4003W ... sorry for allowing my predilection towards the S-series basses to steer me wrong! :shock: :oops: 8)

I think that the only time that would be the case for a 4003W would be if the bass were actually on fire! :shock: :lol:
