Is Anyone Else Gunning For This 4005?

[Scotty_Guitar]

It's on fleabay (item # 320226748377). I'd hate to run up the price much, especially since I'm of limited funds. But this (or a JG) is my "DREAM BASS!" And this one definitely looks sweet.

Any bets on final price?

That is a nice looking 4005 but no matter how hard I try I can't come up with an easy way to fund one of these expensive basses. It still kills me that a guitar shop here in town back in the late 70's early 80's had a 4005 from the 60's for $750.00. Oh ,if we only knew then what we know now.

Thats sweet, I'm gonna say $6500+ but you never know.
Good luck Scott

She is a purdy one. In fantastic condition and beautiful 70's fireglo.

I'm not sure where it'll end up, but...Good luck!

Thanks for wishing me luck guys. I think it'll fetch nearly double the starting price... I definitely haven't got that kind of cash... And I DO need my house and car!

Wow that's nice but I don't see anything like that in the future
I hope it finds a good home (I'm sure it will).

Man, that much for a '79!! What about the rest of us that own way earlier ones? My FG is from Dec '66.

$6700.00+. A really good price considering the winter auctions...

[rickaddict]

I don't know why, but I've noticed that the price gap between 60's and 70's 4005's is nowhere near what it is between 60's and 70's 4001's.

[incubus2432]

Because there are loads of '70's 4001's and not so many '60's era. For 4005's there aren't many period. That's my guess anyway.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing Jeff.

A 60's 4001 has a completely different perceived value compared to the late 70's stuff. The latter is mass produced in comparison, but I don't think that's the whole answer.

That was a lovely example, in wonderful condition, but it doesn't have all the goodies. and to fetch close to what the 60's version commands makes one wonder...

[Scotty_Guitar]

Even at $6700+ its too rich for me. Maybe some day...
