1988 Model 4003 Silver

No matter what the surroundings, this instrument provides for a silver lining. The lighting in the above photo provided just the right conditions to catch the true silver-gray finish. The black hardware is certainly the way to go with this instrument with a delightful contrast evident. The black pickup cover also adds to the overall look of this beautiful playing 4003 bass. The colour also compliments the increasing gray, no make that silver, highlights in the hair of its owner. Enough said. The photo below provides an example of a 1989 Model 4003 Silver with identical features to the photo above. The photo of the 1989 model is illustrative of the slight green cast associated with lacquer yellowing.
