The Signature bass (that never was)

[johnallg]

Over or under?

Under and thus blurry. Can't correct for blurry.... With flashing stage lights, I just timed taking my shot wrong.

[jps]

Too bad about the blurry, however, an underexposed slide may contain enough information to produce a decent print. It is overexposed slides that lose information in the highlights that can not be recovered.

Ivan Munoz signature bass! That could be wild cool!

Um, you know what Mr. Hall has to say about the resemblance of the top horn on the 4005 to a.. . ! Not going to happen!

Roger Glover's Rick 4001. With FW inlays and CB binding, 2 jazz-pickups (reverse poled, wired as a humbucker), and a Gibson minibucker underneath the bridgecover.

...I saw Chris use his eight string on the Topographic Oceans tour through to the Going For the One tour.
Some of the live recordings of "Roundabout" encores from this period have the eight string high in the mix.

I've seen Chris play his during the Relayer era when I saw Yes a few times.

I have a couple badly exposed slides of him playing it in the Zoo.

i saw chris playing the 4008 on the 4th night of the tormato tour in '78 for going for the one and roundabout in providence,RI.

That bass looks much different today. He stills brings it out every once in a while. There are threads on here about the restoration of this bass

Paul McCartney (although he never had his actual signature anywhere on the bass) had a signature model, the 4001C64. The flipped head was a trademark of his left-handed 4001S bass, and so Ric decided to offer right handers a taste of what Paul had. There was also a small run of left hand 4001V63's to Japan (they get everything!) with right-handed necks called 4001PMC, again, it did not bear McCartney's signature.

What I'm trying to say is, Paul had a signature model, too, but the 4001PMC, 4001C64 and 4001C64S beared his signature nowhere.

Here is a 4001V63PMC that I purchased right here in America

[johnallg]

Brian, RIHS or magnetic shoes?

[Ivan3000]

Apparently the Super early V63's had the magnetic shoes on them.

Apparently the Super early V63's had the magnetic shoes on them.

But this was a special model - very few made. I'm not sure of the time frame this bass was made. [edit] the 3 PMCs in the registry were 1999 so I'm guessing they have RIHS pups.

I'd love to own one of them.
