My New Purple 4004Cii

[cassius987]

When I talked to the salesman at Wildwood about it, after some prying, he said he thought the top coat had reacted with something to make a reddish tint that created a purple effect. Notice the headstock is still almost factory-spec TB.

Congrats Richard!

Looks pretty cool!

Even better when you score a good deal!

WOW!!!! I don't stray into the bass forum very often, but I sure am glad I did today!

I love purple, and I think that bass looks amazing.

See, you should come into the basses forum more, often, Melibee!

Indeed I should, Joey.... I actually popped in because I have finally started playing my Ric bass, a JG 4001v63, in my worship team. Our group has been heavy on guitars, but short a bass player so I volunteered, and I am really loving it!

BTW, I've got a really cool strap that will match your purple beauty, Richard!

Congrats on a cool find and a gorgeous bass!

[rickenbrother]

That is indeed a beautiful bass! Congrats!

[rickenbrother]

Very cool! Now, don't everyone with a TB 4004 give them a suntan.

I don't think the finishes since '08 would change very much if they got sun.

I like that Purple. Congrats !

Whether by default or design, it's a very attractive shade of purple. Paul W's version is still the yardstick though!
