Hey Mike,

Never say "Nothing special, just my 2006 4001C64 FG", they are ALL special in their own way! Image

SIGH, I LOVE that 4001S FL......and SO MANY other nice basses pictured here....

Oh John,

SHOULD you tire of your 1991 4003S MGBT...well, you know! Image

Ok, I broke down and took a few quick shots of my babies....

Starting in order of most dear to my heart....
Image
Image

To my every day banger....
Image

To the newest "S" in my small stable.

Nice S basses all around so far!
