WOW! Ken that is a thin neck! Don't break it! What an amazing looking bass.. that is what fireglo should always be like! The F hole is cool and I like how the finger rest was moved to be a thumb rest.

Now, is that considered a "pencil neck" or a "Turkey neck" by you bodybuilder guys?
Congratulations.

I removed the thumb rest and put it back in the proper place,it was held on with rubber cement thank god. I used a razer blade to cut it then once it was off rubbed theglue right off with my thumb no harm to the finish at all.
Jeff and Ken are absolutely right.... the 4005s sound great and play even better!!!
congratulations, Ken, for the bass and Happy Thanksgiving day to all
