Gaa - it's so original - and NT/MG too Image Is yours MG or FG, Jaime?

If this one is starting at $10K, how far does it have to go? I just committed to buy Ed's 1966 4005 WB, which is getting a Dale workover right now due out in July, so this one may be a stretch indeed for me this month..... Image

EI803, is that what it looks like to you guys? Sept 1965!!

Wow, John! July 1965.... are there many at all earlier than that?

And Jaime's is just two months later in Sept too, so his must be EI808 Image You are sitting on a gold mine there, Jaime Image Image

That one's here in my neck of the woods. It's also been on ebay before with the same price tag.

This is a gorgeous bass, but I don't think it'll get any bites.

BTW Elys, my '66 is FD. Yours?

Well it didn't sell I thought it may be re-listed but instead I found yet another 60's 4005 listed today ( look in the for sale forum ) , they're coming out of the woodwork in hopes of big $$$ I guess ,
Cheers,
