I find that the 4000 bass belonging to the great Pete Trewavas ( Marillion, Transatlantic ) is awesome to look at with all the flowers he put on it !!! Pete is one of my long time favorite bass player as well. I met him in Montreal too !!!

That's pretty cool that you actually got to meet Pete.
If Mozart were with us today, he'd play a Fireglo 4001C64! ~~~*~~~ Beethoven, on the other hand, would play a Matte Jetglo 4001C64S!

Very cool! I wonder who got the idea from whom, as Will Lee has flowers all over his 4001V63.

Of the basses that I actually own, this is my faveorite finish. The slightly yellowed antique white is the quintissential Rick finish to me since I first saw Chris Squire's bass sometime in '74. This bass started out as a '97 4003.

I'll second that. In person this guitar is even cooler looking. And a great player.

Dan, that's a sweet looking re-fin that Larry Davis did on your Rick!
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

He did like it, commenting "This is quite nice" as he signed the pickguard. I have the guard framed now. What an awesome night at the Sunset Strip House of Blues that was.

I was walking towards you three as he said that. Took quite an appreciative look at it he did.
