Curmudge: What happened to this finish Trans red?

[wmthor]

I know that my pic is not the best quality, but this 2002 NAMM bass looks very similar to the one on eBay.

Thanks Richard. It would seem that it is not about the finish but the grain. Regardless, it is unique.

The one on Ebay is spectacular. Looks to have walnut wings though. The gold appears switched out for chrome, and has the 3 knob mod.

That 2002 CII looks alot like my old one. It was an '02.

It's PH's bass, and he's a member here.

You would think that grain has to be a NAMM or special order bass.

Pity it's red, (Just my op)...That should have been left looking absolutely stunning in MG....

+1 on the mapleglo.

I think the pics look a bit odd from the sunlight. I've seen other pics of Peters bass, it''s really nice. I'd love to have that one.

I've lost track, but I think I was the original owner of that bass. Sold it to Henny who then pass it on

[cheyenne]

Peter Heinzel correct????

Forgive me if I spelled that wrong. I thought that looked familiar.

yup

This is amazing how I don't look at certain things when I add "Collected instruments" to the register.

Peter (McCormack): not only I know this bass, I actually have a picture of me holding it next to the owners!!!

For the rest of you guys who don't understand what I am talking about... - I am following ebay auctions and adding identifiable instruments (those who have a serial number...) to the register.
When I stumbled upon this instrument I had no idea what color was it and I added a note to Peter telling him that the color looks strange...

Hi Folks,

Yeah, I’m selling my 4004Cii TR which I received from Mark Henson some years ago. It is JWR2-modified (no, not the 4-2-5 conversion) with VVT electronic and a 1Meg Ohm tone pot and now has some nice growl. Also the hardware was swapped to chrome with a 1997 4004Laredo FG. It has the rare PU-spacing and a finished fretboard (only some short production period). The bass is of light weight but has the famous “baseball-bat-neck”, perfect for the 4-2-5-conversion, but as I already have a 5-string Squier Protone with EMG-BTC electronics, I do not have a need for the conversion.
Other than that I still have my ’74 4001FG currently with Paul W. for a pre’73-conversion. I’ll be very happy when she returns to me!

Yup, I was the original owner of that bad boy
