Yes, this bass is very ugly. None of you want it.

yes the 2000 series basses are ugly ... you really want a 77 4001 ... these aren't the droids you're looking for

I really like ugly basses myself. Especially my ugly brown walnut Cheyenne. The 2020 would be a nice companion

I think they are pretty cool....especially Paul's picture...maybe the 3001 needs a sibling.

I find them...quirky. I hated them with a passion at first but I have to say they've grown on me a bit. Especially Paul B's, with the bound body and maple fretboard.

If one came up for the right price, I wouldn't mind buying it.

The 2050 El Dorado looked nice in the catalog.

That's the one I like - the 2060 as well, with the small pickguard and the maple fretboard.

And the 2030GF Glen Frey model didn't look too bad either:

Mine's prettier....neeener, neeener, neeener....

Ric should make a bass like that ...

I agree....props to Todd on an amazing custom job

This 2020 is becoming very tempting....

I like the 2060's combination of binding and white pickguard...

Todd, did you cut down the body or start from new? It looks very nice.

Ken, the new body was built from scratch. I didn't want to lose the opportunity to put the bass back together as it originally was, just in case the new one didn't work out.

Ric could make a bass based on the 2000 series technology and give it a 4005 body shape ... they could use off the shelf parts and very little R & D ... it would be modern and retro ...
