V63 & 4001 with horseshoe living in Japan at the Ishibashi U BOX... for sale

These are the guys that recently had the 68 4001 which sold immediately on ebay. I'd seen both down at Music Ground before they were listed. This bass is indeed virtually mint & apparently a complete one-off having been built for NAMM especially, but they are clearly off their heads. I thought GBP4K ...

This is the bass I was talking about under the "4001 Body Shape" post earlier. It's at my local shop. They had it in there for £5000 originally so a K off for BIN is pretty good. though given that it's nearly $2 = £1 I'm suprised someone stateside bought it.

Anyone ever seen one go on ebay?

The 68 is definitely a little odd looking...
Any ideas what $ these should be fetching today?
No photos but it's had tuners replaced but originals included. other than that it's completely original & fully working. Few paint scrapes & chips but certainly not abused. Fireglow with Checker binding ...

Anyone know the history behind the changin body shapes over the years? Some seem wider & flatter than others & some have fat or thin horns... Got an opportunity to pick up a 1968 4001 but not sure I like the shape as much as my 79 4001.
