I remember seeing a pic from late-60's or early-70's of an all-female band where the guitarist(s) and bass player all had Lightshows. Does anyone know where that particular 4005LS went?
Also, I don't recall Entwistle's 4005LS being part of the auction that occurred after his death, (plus I'm sure it would have showed up in "Bass Culture" book if he still had it). Did it end up somewhere else?

What about Jack Casady from the Jefferson Airplane? (he had one).

It never returned after the "Quadrophenia" tour when he last used it. Do you think he might have smashed it? Could Moonie have kicked it over like he did to one of John's Gibson Thunderbirds?

Jake, I dunno about that sn#, because no LS Ricks were made before 1970 if I remember correctly.

It seems there should be more than 5 if we know where most of them are.....
There is that YouTube video posted recently with guys playing "Bohdisattva" on a 331LS and a 4005LS. That's One.
I have pictures of several.

That photo is in the Smith book.
