The Hunt For The 4005

[(libratune)]

Welcome, Tom. That's great that you still have your original '67 4005. Thanks for posting a pic.

IMO you need a black switchtip on that 4005 to be vintage spec. Or did it come with the white one?

...It makes a great companion to my 1993 4001CS.

I'll bet they make a nice pair.

I bought my 4005 #GJ4364 in late 1967 in New Haven, CT. I was 15. It now resides with me in Ojai, CA. I keep SIT Power Flats on it and get a smooth hollow sound in all registers. It makes a great companion to my 1993 4001CS.

Did you install a larger plate under the bridge to move it back fot intonation sake or is this standard?

The 4005 is as I bought it in '67, no mods, although I'm not sure about the white versus black toggle switch tip.

The one bass I would trade everything I own for...probably would have to do that just to get one nowadays

I sold mine last August for what I thought was a very reasonable price.

You had a 4005 Jeff?

I thought I did, but can't find it, at the moment! I still need to own a 4000 and a 4002 to have complete the basic set (4000-4001-4002-4003-4004-4005) , disregarding the 4008, for example.

LOL!!!

[(woodyng)]

Yeah,I'm still minus a 4003 on THAT list,myself.....

[(Ontario_RIC_fan)]

We have now located 39 Model 4005s worldwide.

Currently up to 87 now!

[(admin)]

Yes, it is great to see so many now Brian! Onward to 100.

Erm, wouldn't the 4008 be the rarest?

Isn't there a 5 string one out there, somewhere?

[(weemac)]

There is I believe two 6 string 4005 basses....
