Seems the description has changed on the MG. It now reads:

"This was the first 4005 bass made in 1967 in Maple Glo for the NAMM trade show and is one of the rarest of all Rickenbacker basses ever made."

I wonder what they'll change the ad to say tomorrow?

"Also, talk about artificially inflating the value of the 4005"

I like that! Image

Edgar, I bid on one one of Entwistles 4005 basses and it was from 1967 (MG), in quite good condition I might add. Between this one being auctioned, Grahams, and Entwistles, I guess this makes more than he proposes.

Is it me that can't count????

Scott: I've heard that many instruments are finding their way back from Japan these days. So it is true then?
