I never thought I'd like the MG but it's awesome on this bass. The BT is gorgeous. This thing is in immaculate condition. I can't wait to plug it in to my rig tomorrow. The pics suck. My house has such terrible lighting. Will try and get better ones tomorrow.

Beautiful Sean!

That's a great combo....I loved the look of my MG/BT 4003s5. It's one of those combinations that always looks better in person.

Cool! This one must have a sweet neck. Is it September '85 by chance?

That does look sweeeeeet, Sean. Congrats!

Got a few CDs there, I see!

John, it's an October model.

Howard, there's only about 1400 or so.

I have just been oggling this bass. I think it may be a keeper. SOME LESS BLACK!

"I think it may be a keeper."

A real looker Sean! You are right, they look better in person and do grow on you. I wasn't too sure while awaiting my S MGBT but when it got to me, I really liked it. I have their (S)ister.

Congrats, Sean. Mapleglo with black trim is such an awesome look.

Not to mention the look of the split PG. I love it!

Mike the figuring in yours is incredible.

It's a beauty, Sean! Enjoy!

Welcome to the '85 4003 MG/BT club!

Yeah, I'm not a huge Mapleglo fan UNLESS it has black trim.
Nice ax dude.

I'm not much of an MG fan either, but that one's VERY nice!

I really think that the split guard & 7 screw tail are very desirable features. Quite distinctive & very practical.
