Stole this shot from a band website. Don't know the fellow, but should be near Milwaukee. Looks like a Turquoise Cheyenne. Must get this for the book:

Maybe it's my lame monitor, but I can't tell if the hardware is chrome or gold. Chris at POTR had a turq Laredo at the same time I bought my 4004Cii TG. I had a bit of a tough time making up my mind way back when, but I'm glad I went with the TG

That guy looks grumpy.

It could be reflections, but the TRC looks gold on black, the Laredo ones are chrome on black. The hardware is getting some warm highlights, leaving me to believe it is gold. I put out a call for the guy, so I hope he replies.

Talked with John Hunt today, and this bass is a Laredo. The reflections on the hardware were throwing me off. Still, the only Turquoise 4004 I've ever seen. He's in Milwaukee, and I invited him to the Midwest Confluence and to the Forums. He also has a '72 4001MG (like mine used to be), so small world. He's keen on the idea of the confluence, so maybe we'll get to see his two Ricks.
