I really like those 4005s. Too bad they aren't made anymore. It would be really worth learning how to play bass just to have one.

Heck no Grendel,he paid dearly for that one..At least a few rounds worth anyway. Buuuurrrrp..'Scuse me. I may be cheap,but I ain't easy...Wait...ummm...or is that the other way around?

No way was the back of that bass gonna get hidden. Pics don't do it justice,and the patchwork on the front done by Dale Fortune was beyond fantastic. The grain of the patches was darn near a perfect match with the grain on the bass,making a trans finish an easy choice. Heck I just finished it,Dale did all the hard work. Now Kenny gets to play it :^)

Kenny, try talking to them. I e-mailed them and asked if they would take a lower price. They said "sure." They said the bass was out getting set up, but that was three months ago, and they never got back to me. E-mail me at my profile address and I'll tell you more.

Hey Eric, I'm glad you painted Kenny's bass BEFORE the beer flowed. Nice job my friend. Love the color.

It would need a gold pickguard and TRC before I could call it a "Packer's Bass". Image

Another Friday is upon us. How 'bout some 360's?

This includes the rounded top style as well as the double bound. 12-strings are more than welcome, as always.
