Dammit Graham,

You 4005 HOG!

DOH!

There are worse things to be. I wish I was a 4005 hog.

Sorry for the confusion Jeff. I intended to say what John got out of it. I am sure your 4005 is wonderful and sounds great.

However, if you find a beat up 4005 for just $3,000 and it is your intention to be recording with it, I am going to guess that you might want to find a better one, even it you pay more, if it is your intent to be recording with it as one that is that beat up, it probably isn't going to satisfy you.

Possible, but if is in playable condition, the bass should sound okay, I hope.

Can a 4005 nail the sound of Paul McCartney's Hofner Beatle bass?

I'll have to do a comparison...

That's an interesting question. Let us know JPS.

There's a nice 4005 that just showed up on Ebay. It's at Olivia's, so it ain't cheap, $15,900 BIN. It's a 1966 double bound, so the price might not be too bad...

$15,900?



Go for it guys. I'm gonna sit this one out!

[rickaddict]

And I can't help noticing...

From Olivia's pics, it looks like that front body binding bugged the absolute HELL out of someone's right forearm for many years.

The guy probably finally wore his wrist down to the point where all of his blood poured out after a gig!

I guess I should have said "the price might not be too bad... for something from Olivia's".

Way over priced in my book. But, the OP was looking for a 4005, maybe it's what he's looking for.

It's getting to where I can't get about 10% of what's being said.

I'll take you up on that, John!

You had better mail me one too.

The double bounds look boxy and not as elegant to me. I know they are more rare. Still, a 4005 is a 4005.

I have flats on mine, and have had tape wounds at one point. You can always get the piano punch and growl, and I feel you can get a close approximation of the Macca sound.
