Anybody out there own a 4005 ?? How do they compare soundwise and playability wise with 4001 or 4003?

I have a 4005 a 4003 and a 3001. The 4005 sounds very acoustic-woody and throaty. It's the seventies hippy sound man! Nice bass feels a bit more chunky than the 4003. It still has that piano like rickenbacker ring in the upper registers. It's my favorite bass. Partly also because of it's amazing appearance. The 3001
sounds more P-bass like. aggressive punky sound.
Nice though I play it a lot. And the 4003 seems too have the smoothest 'zooming bass line sound'
It is my bands favorite. But what do they know.
