Looks modified. I like the refin color, but I'd proberly like it much more without the active circuit mod. But I couldn't play it anyway since it's backwards. 
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! 
Re: 4001 - Purple Sunburst - Active???
Yeah, not a bad color at all, if it weren't backwards, I might proberly sought this one too...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I'll have to add "proberly" to my "internetese" list right next to "prolly". The English language seems to be under "reconstruction" these days...........

that lefty has serious overhang with that upper horn ! the bassdukes purple '72 ish (or whatever year it is) has better proportions. i noticed the upper horn started to move from usual at about 1974.
