Good pictures, nonetheless! Welcome to the 4000 owners club, Bob! :)

Cool bass! Nice pictures!! Don't forget to add them to the register...

I think that same bass sold in Vancouver about a year before... I remember the ad as the seller also had a 60s Vox Teardrop guitar for sale as well... There was no SN in the ad so maybe not...

congrats,that is really nice! I've had my '74 4000 for around a decade i guess. It has a unique tone loaded with either flat-or round wound strings,and plays like buttah.
