I wasn't looking for a 4005...

Post by byu »

Then suddenly this March '67 presented itself to me. Right place, right time and it has now joined the family. In great shape for 43 years old - all original & plays like butta. The previous owner had it for 30 years. I took possession today and photo'd it on my deck at about 7PM. Hope to have better pics with better lighting over the next few weeks.

Wow! Looks nice! Congrats! :D
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Erm, what neighborhood is that again -- the place where this 4005 presented itself to you? Was it dressed in a trenchcoat? :roll:

Congrats, that looks like a real beauty. :D

sorry about off topic here... Jeff, looking at your avatar... man that would make a nice belt buckle - a nice small one for dress pants and a slightly bigger one for jeans and the likes.

Wow, for some reason I really like those, might have to get a second job, or put a rubber band around my head and snap out of it.
