1973 4001 Sunburst, Fretless, CB etc...
I would like to present this beautiful sunburst *** thumping 1973 FR CB to the forum for its perambulation and other derivatives of estimation. History:Custom ordered all bells and whistles purchased in 1973 to replace an ampeg bass (I know quite possibly a mistake, maybe enormous). Played in old high school band for almost 3-4 times during college heyday. Relegated to the case in 1975, the one under the bed. Sometime in 1990's was played on a couple of recordings at home until replaced by a Yamaha SY77 ( that thing still kicks ***). There is a nick but thats it otherwise its really well kept. What do you think?

What do I think? I think it is a beautifully aged FG that is in really great condition! Great bass you have.
