Especially in Black.

I remember seeing one in FG in your stable, Paul. Just send it my way and I'll take my glasses off every time I get it out!

Hi Mark, I also mailed the same scammer to say that I would collect in person. Never got a reply...

That's a nice 4005 Francesco, I've see your clips on Youtube ... nice work.

I sent the scammer guy an email requesting another photo of the bass next to todays Kirkwall newspaper (that's where he said he lives) ... he replied saying "I don't have time for this I'm a scam cheers" ... such honesty is hard to find in people these days...

Actually, John A., just to be purrrrfectly clear:

I think Jeff's JG double-bound is the most gorgeous 4005 I've ever laid eyes on!

Francesco,is that a Fender Bassman 100 your playing through?.I just just realised a third of my dream setup.I managed to get a Bassman from a nice bloke near to me in Nottingham (UK) thanks to the 'Bay.Next two thirds are a 4005 and a decent Double Bass.Then I'd be happier than a pig in S**t.Or even a 35 million quid Euro lottery winner!

Hi Leigh, I've got a firm offer that I'm happy with right now. If, for any reason it falls through I'll let you know. Hopefully Graham has something that can help you out!

Graham,I have been tipped me off before that you are 'The Man' regarding vintage Rics in the UK.Can you give me prices on your nice collection(4005s) or are you taking offers?
I'm interested in what David has to offer but I'm also aware of the extra cost of importing(I'm trying to get a '64 Ford Falcon from NC right now).Your '66 Fireglo is very tempting.
