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?
"This bass commissioned by NASA to be the first '67 MG 4005 to be used in space.....".

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

I like that!

What's that I heard about Peter's cold, dead hands?

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?
