Got to be a 70s with the high gains. I think he's a decade off.

Yes,from I think 70 on.The 4001 went out in I think 86 or 87 the fat horns are usually attributed to the eighty's.

Actually I think it was '82 or '83, I had a '83 4003S in Azureglo that I let go of, regrettably. Brian, how is she? Image

OMG, he's right!

If the thing doesn't have a bridge and still plays, I wonder where the action will be with a bridge.
