About my photos. I plan to provide everyone who supplies a bass for me to photograph with a nice print of each, but I don't want to get into that right now (over 100 so far). Let me get more into the book before I start compensating everyone, please. I'm also trying to limit the distribution of the photos I have so that the book will be fresher and more anticipated. That old marketing thing, you know.

"the exact measurement in mm from front to back on my 4005 is about 20 mm here"

Is that from the back of the neck to the strings? Or the fretboard? Because I think my '76 4001 has a 20mm neck thickness. I just tried to measure it, but I'm not sure where to stop.
