that thing looks great! I too would go for the black TRC though...

Nice score Joey. You can't go wrong with an S!

Is it just me or do the horns on these set neck 4001S basses look a little different? Sergio noticed that the neck seems to be at a slightly different angle. But it looks to me like the cresting wave upper horn gets a sort of a McCartney-esque rounding off treatment.

Yeah, I've thought about the black trc, maybe I can send this one into RIC so I can buy a black one with chrome letters if that is available, if not then I'll get one with white letters.

All black hardware...hmmm...

Sean, it might be a while before I sell it, a very long while. LOL

Nice 8 string headstock, Harry.

Yeah Jeff, the horns look a little different to me also on the S basses.

”Nice 8 string headstock" - thanks!

Personally, I don't think the black hardware is necessary - there's a picture of Brian's black 8-string with chrome in the "Mr. Silver has just arrived" thread and I think it looks awesome, as does yours!

For about 5 minutes of your time and $8 in supplies......

If you want just send me your TRC and I'll do it for ya' for the grand sum of nuthin'. If you don't like it Ric will still accept it as a trade in.

I was noticing also that the horns are rounder on my S . I think because it has no binding there a little more subtle in appearance . I also thought the neck angle was a little forward but i checked it with a couple other 4001's i have and they all have the same neck angle

Joey - Fantastic score!

IMO, you must leave it JG...

JG + S = Sex with Strings.

Get a black TRC, leave the hardware chrome... fantastic stunner.

Envious here.

Well done, Joey!

I would leave it as is and play the **** out of it!

Forget the refin....you can always do it later , if you want.

I don't even want to think about it.

But he's right. It is gorgeous.

This is for Jim Glen.

I know how too much JG gives him hives. This is more his style.
