RCA bass!!!

You're right, Ryan. It was actually made at the beginning of the 4004C run, and of course, 4001 wouldn't have been applicable at all. I keep thinking that if it was abandoned at a storage facility/unit, someone should have records as to who was paying the rent up until they stopped. Sure wish we could solve the mystery.

SOLD!

[bassduke49]

Excellent! Mind if I ask how much you got? Were you able to get better shots of it? Or perhaps I could ask the new owner for shots?

Sold for 3k apparently on Ebay.

Well, coulda fooled me. I'd still like to know more and get good photos of it.

If I had bought this bass, I'd have to modify the pick guard slightly:

Cracking bass, Gromit!

I got $3k for it. I will ask the new owner if it is okay for you to contact him about getting pictures. Sorry that I wasn't able to get pics before it shipped.

OK, thanks, Ryan. Here's hoping.

I can report (without naming) the RCA bass has landed in a Forumite's collection. Whew! I will be able to get excellent photos from the collector for use in my project. If the Forumite wants to come forward or not, that's cool.

Paul, when is the conclusion of your project?

With luck, late 2011.

Would the guard be made of Wensleydale?

I have to admire Paul B for his passion in getting this book together. Seems like forever, although it was 2006 When I first met Paul and he was beginning this project,. A true labor of love.

PS - congrats to whoever got the RCA bass. Gotta believe that's a keeper.

I reserve one.
Have you thought of any translation into other languages?
