4003S/5 Project

with the price of 4001cs basses I can see a market in converting 4003s basses into cs look alikes ... I'd rather have a look alike 5 string than a real 4001cs ...

In your case it's an eight string!

Ted, that looks like one big project and looks like it's going well!
I was wondering if you needed to sand the wings on the side where they meet the neck?

I may have to run the wings over the jointer to true them up a bit but they should be about perfect to start. The wood may have distorted somewhat during the heating process.

Very nice work Ted. You are a true inspiration.

I'm pretty sure I'm right about how lucky that bass is.

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to do a 4002S/5CS with something like that. Make it stop!

Yes, in a canvas reversable housecoat by two men in sunglasses.

I hope they are wearing MORE than sunglasses!

I don't. Actually they are twins that look a lot like Pamela Anderson and they're taking me to a place they call "Stepford".
