Both Ken and I nearly had heart attacks when it was initially delivered to the wrong address!!! The first mistake in 5+ years for FedEx, and it had to be this one!

Awsome bass Gary! You'd better hang on to that one.

I saw on this very forum a few years ago a killer double bound 4005 with F hole. In jetglo btw; who owns that one?

Congrats, Gary.

And that JG is ultra-cool with the white bound F-hole.

I remember playing that JG when the bass player for the Fad had it....
That was backstage at a little club in NYC called the Dive.

Thanks everyone. I plugged it into my 1969 Fender Dual Showman Reverb (2x15 D-130F JBL cabinet) last night - WOW!

Ilan, the story is that there are purported to be two others known, one in Italy and one in Japan, but Ken and I have been unable to find any pictures or details of them, and they both are said to be in far worse shape than mine.

Will do, Kenny.
