I have a 2007 (31st week, Aug) 4003 FL AFG:

1: 11.5
3: 12.1
12: 13.5

It's a great bass, lots of mwah and growl!!

Thanks, Sam, I've added your neck stats.

Now we need some 4003 basses from 2007 to see about the new necks, how they compare to the old style 4003

Interesting. Do we have some statistics that reveal the difference between the two?

[johnallg]

So far, no measurements for the new slimmer necks. Anyone??

Thanks for the addition, Robert. Your '07 neck is like my '04 neck.

Thread resurrected!

Always good to see more data in here, CJ.

But in order to compare, we need to all measure the same way. All of the data collected thus far were measured using a vinyl tape measure (or some used a string and then stretched it out on top of a ruler) just in front of the first, third, and twelfth frets. Wrap it all the way around the neck under the strings tightly please.

Rock on!



EDIT: Oh, I get it. Looks like that's what you did in your first group of numbers there. Never mind!

OOH,

I love this thread!

Gotta measure up my 71 4001 & my new 4004Cii...I'd like to see a nice 4004 file database too...

Welcome Mark!

Interesting first post.

Thanks. I was just browsing around and was happy to come across something I could actually contribute to.
