Welcome, Royce! That must be a real beauty. You might as well post some pictures of it ... everyone will bug you until you do! :)

Welcome aboard. I'm a fan of the 4001S, and you've got a great sounding bass (while I might not own one, I have played one, and it was AWESOME!)!

David, glad you restored it. I didn't say anything at the time... but it looks much better stock!

Dave, you'll have to (probably) come over to my side of the water- I'm too poor and lazy right now to make it to Vancouver... maybe in the summer. My band that cover (mostly) Beatles is playing every Wednesday and most weekends. E-mail me at [email protected] sometime!
