I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Well I have a nice and flamey 660 AFG I posted over in the "let's see your 660-6" thread so I won't repeat that one.

Nope, for this one I'll show off my 1966 375 :D

Scotty we save the good maple for cabinets, I don't think I would have the heart to chop on any wood with that much character. But you never know a flamed chopping block may be in my future at some point. 8)

Better pics indeed! What's the story on it? Beautiful.
Here's some updated pics. It's an 86 4003s/5 I picked up from GC for *cheep*. I've had to replace the truss rods, but other than the previous owner adding a thumbrest it's in immaculate condition. It was also Miss January in the 2008 RickResource calendar.

Joey, make sure you pack up the MG 5 string well so when I come home from So Cal in January I can travel safely with it, thanks! :mrgreen:

Not quite as spectacular as some of the examples shown so far, but it's got grain :)

So Cal? Nah,,, I wish. ,,, I just got the impression that maybe you talked Joey out of one of his 4004 5'rs. :D

You're moving in with me?!? :?


Especially since 4001/3FL basses are the hottest discussion on the forum lately, this thread really needs some fretless basses!!
