Did you have to route the body at all to get a bit wider spacing for the pots so you could install the oven knobs? The reason that I ask is that I have been wanting to put oven knobs on my 4001 for quite a while.

Nah, they stick ever so slightly, but I'm only ever going to use the tone knob for my bridge pickup anyways... and for the music I use this bass for- that's pretty much never.

Looks great, Kevin!

Waaaaay better than white.
And with the upside-down lettering on the TRC, finally the reversed headstock makes some sense.
That is definitely the way to go.
Not sure about the oven knobs though.

The gold guard looks very nice on that C64!

I find the white guards to be extremely artificial in contrast to the fantastic wood grain finishes.
Can we have everything louder than everything else?

Love it!
I think I'd use some Tele-style chrome knobs like the first 4000s.

My guitar tech shaved the oven knobs slightly when he put them on my 4003 MBvp.
May be the lesser of two mods.
Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .

I like the gold guard. Not sold on the oven knobs though. However, it is a very striking looking bass.
Re: World's first 4001c64 /w gold guards!
That looks great.. though I think the stock vintage knobs would look bestRe: World's first 4001c64 /w gold guards!
I'm surprised you guys aren't diggin on the oven knobs! The knobs complete it for me mainly because I also have 2 rics with the standard vintage style knobs.
Thanks for the kind words!

Those knobs are awesome, but vintage ones are impossible to get and the reissues are so dang expensive.dpowell wrote:Love it!

Great Ramp In My Opinion.
