Wow! Both basses are beautiful Paul. Congrats to their owners.

Nice! 
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: LOTS OF PROJECTS NEARING COMPLETION...
There are some lucky guys looking out for the post this week. That deep burgundy 4001 is exactly my "dream" bass. Fantastic work Paul.

Nice. Love the back of the neck on the FG.

Beautiful work as usual, Paul.
I have a question though: The Wavy Grovers in the photo above seem to have a spiral pattern along the outer edges of the box. What's up with that? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Um, yeah, interesting observation. My '84 with Wavy Grovers just has straight bars...rickaddict wrote:Beautiful work as usual, Paul.

They're originals, but Asian ("exploding")variations, as the pin swages were all bad and wouldn't even peen over--I had to drill and tap them for tiny screws to hold them together.
