Tony, it is indeed a rare one. Here's a picture of it next to my 4001 Ruby:

OH MY, OH MY!

I'm speechless, and that takes some doing!

What a set of BEAUTY'S! That FL is STUNNING! I didn't know they even existed! I've got such GAS for my 4003FL AFG!

She looks FLAWLESS. I never cared for that color before but it looks amazing on that bass!

IF you wouldn't mind, do you have a high quality picture I could add to my screen saver? I've got almost every RIC on it.....but not a 4000FL BG, that's for sure!

Thanks for posting that picture, wow... That guitar was meant for you, who could let something like that just sit in a store for all those years??

The only time a bass player gets noticed is when he stops playing.

WOW!
That's the first 4000 FL I've heard of as well.
VERY nice!
It must have been a cancelled special order of some kind, or a sale that fell through
Definitely a real collector's item.
Plus five minus five!
