Well, except for the triangle inlays...

Sorry David - couldn't resist. That is a beautiful bass.

I've got an 82 factory fretless as well. Bought it around 5 years ago for $2k. Absolutely love it. I posted some picks some time last year in another 4002 thread. I had been looking for 4005, but saw the 4002 and had to grab it. I'll try to dig up the old pics and repost.

Soon after I got it I wrote john hall to try to get more specifics. Pretty much only got the rare as hen's teeth.

Jerry...Please sell me that bass! It's absolutely beautiful!

Fascinating wood on that, Jerry. Bird's eye on the body and a very unique blend on the neck halves. And, yes. Let's see the front.

I suspect that is the sentiment of most 4002 owners.

Pretty please with lots of sugar on top!!!!!

No offense Ginger but I prefer my finger board to have frets!

Ohhh..giggles..yes, as Jaco called them.."Speed Bumps" I personally think that all basses secretlee desire to be fretless..but ,alas I cannot free them all..sigh

I seem to remember,about a year or two ago, a Forum member getting a 4002 for around $500.00 that was missing the original pickups. Does anyone remember this?
