Well, I opened the bidding on this one...I'd really like to get it and do a refinish on it, um, like violet-glo, maybe? It would make a nice twin to my '80 formerly burgundy-glo, now irridescent blue. I still need to get a digital camera so I can take pics....maybe for Christmas

And if you scroll down to "See more great items from this seller" there is a 1965 Ash Blond Fender Precision....this bass just sold on E-bay only two days ago for just under $2,500 if I remember correctly.

If you want a purple burst or purpleglo 4001 or 4003, or whatever, why not just have one refinished? That's what I'm going to do with my 1980 4001.....but first an explanation.
