Back in the club! New (to me) 1973 FG 4001S

Post by basse »

Just picked this up at lunch from The Twelfth Fret in Toronto. Ended up putting a couple of other basses I had up on consignment to pay for it, a 1968 Gretsch Monkees' Bass (model 6071) and a 1978 Music Man Sabre. Couldn't be happier with my decision as the new (to me) Ric is light, has a small, fast neck and sounds amazing. Cheers all, very happy to be back!

Congratulations David.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Really nice looking, David. Early '73. as it has the aluminum tailpiece.
