Or a nice old 4005WB! :D

Hmm, I'm completely Bass-retarded. I assume both the 4005 and 4001 had side mounted jacks, and you two moved them into the 5th knob spot front-mount style?

Mine came with already....The 70's "stereo" version for a 60's mono bass... :roll:

Mine, too, was already wired with that ROS jack in place of the fifth element knob.

Beautiful guitar!
Now we've got to see some picks of you in the same pose (as Townsend) with the guitar.
Don't try to tell me you haven't already taken any.

haha, thanks Ron!

To be perfectly honest....I haven't take "self-portrait" shots. Guess I love the man, the music, and the instruments, but I'm far and beyond posing around as him! (Though no offense to your avatar- I like it!).

Besides, my nose is vastly undersized to recreate any Townshend shot! :lol:

Cheers,

No offense taken.
The Maximum R&B poster ( from the Live at Leeds LP) has been hanging on my wall since I was a kid.
It's the only guitar I own that I couldn't resist posing with.
:oops:

Nice trio John.

Is the 1998 on the right the one listed on Bjorns site?

I'm guessing the one on the left is a 345S? Hard to see the knobs.

KH: I probably sold them to buy another Rick.

Collin: It probably is the one listed on Bjorn's site. They were DA 105, DD 464 and DD 476.
