"What's a pre-1973 4001 going for these days?"

Too much. At least that's what I paid for my May'73 with all the goodies on it. But then, mine was in exceptionally good condition, too.

Yes, the neck slab is not apparent on the top of that bass. It is A) a one-off or prototype B) a highly modded production bass C) a faker.

Brian,

Thank's for the offer! I may take you up on that this summer.

I worked on a Cii a bit tonight and looked very carefully at the fingerboard. If there is a finish there it must be very thin. Possibly tung oil as Brian suggested. I am tempted to revise my opinion. It seems possible now that there really is no finish
