Thus spake JA's Ouiji board.....

Well that's OK with me, as long as those of us with 4001 basses actually made in 1968 get to post photos too....

Spake away oh exalted one!

Ah, but are they V68s?!

I just figured the way John worded his answer and the "help" he's been getting jumping the gun on Wednesdays, he would have a little fun with us!

Actually, the 4003 was the first in JB's "Model of the Week" tourney.

It's Friday, you know what that means...let's see those 4005's!

I'll begin with a couple of remarkable ones (not mine!):

First, an early 80's 4005 in White!! Ever seen another?

And here's one in either JG or BG with a bound F-hole!

Here's mine - April '66 WB in Fireglo, currently en-route to Dale for restoration/repairs. The wood on the front has some drop-dead gorgeous figure in it, which is tough to photograph unfortunatley. The few who stayed behind at MARF on Sunday afternoon may remember this instrument.

And of course, my beloved '74 Burgundy, sold to make way for the '66.

Wow, those are some beautiful basses, John! I especially like the white one. Fantastic!

WOW

That is the first white one that I have ever seen!

And white looks soooo good on a 4005!
