That's quite all right, I understand! Here's the best pic I have of it right now, as my camera died some time ago and I haven't bought a new one yet.

The story is that I was a very lucky Ebay bidder.... :lol: All original except for the pup cover which I prefer off anyway. I've had it for about 6 months. When I got it I completely disassembled it except for the tuner ferruls and gave it a ScratchX and Xymal treatment.

When you post John you have to scroll down slightly and there is a link on the lower left that says upload attachment. Then you browse for file. Then you clik on Add the file. It uploads... then there is a link that says "place file inline". Before you clik this make sure your curser in your post is where you want the picture. It's that easy. Pics have to be no larger than 256k and 800X600......

Thanks for the info Steve. I never saw that there before, even with looking for something, anything.

And you're killing me with that Walnut!!! Now there are two basses here I lust after!

My Nov. 2004 4003MG, slightly modified from its birthday.

Robert, Steve & John - sweet looking basses. And I am really digging the new picture capabilities of the Forum. Are there any special tales that go with the basses?
