Hey Al. Care to sell that C64S back, but not in the same shipping carton? Image

As far as I'm concerned, it just looks like some real intense "ambering"!Image

Or not, perhaps.

Alvaro: Agreed. We will have to wait until 2046 to see how yours will look then.

For those of you who have it and/or can stomach it, watch "Give My Regards to Broad St" and that should clear up the question about the yellowing of Paul's bass. I think that the darker pic has more to do with lighting than with the actual colour....

Yesterday I compared the neck on a 4001C64S and a late 1980s Model 4003. While I expected to see significant differences in the shape of the neck, I was surprised to see little difference between these necks and they felt almost identical. The back of the C64 neck had smoother action, however, compared to that of my 4003 Silver. Also, the grain on the fretboard of the C64 was a sight to behold. Very wavy and so unique.
