Hey Jeff, I'm a five stringer player now. I now own a 2002 Namm Lefty Warrior 5 stringer. Man what a bass. Swamp Ash body,Mahogany neck with a purple heart tone bar and one fat boy Bart p/u. This bass is one of a kind since it was made for the 100 aniversary of the NAMM shows. It has a gold medallion stating this placed in the body, just above the controls. It also has Namm carved into the back of the headstock. It is a dream to play and sounds great, YOU MUST GET ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION. Now to add a lefty ric and the world will be as one. peace Mitch. :-)

Have we run out of models or out of interest?

Has there been a "Show us your mods" thread?

My 2004 4003 with half the mods I eventually want.

Still needs an old-style full pickguard, a vintage bridge pup surround, and eventually eventually walnut headstock wings, FWMOP inlays, and CB.

Scott, I have to say I prefer your mods to the all-black scheme.

OK, I'm in......here's the reason I'm not buying Brian's Laredo, this five string was a direct result of the Darth Vader bass but I decided to keep the fretboard natural. I've done the VVT mod since these pics were taken using black vintage knobs.
