Gott in Himmel!! That is wonderful! I can't blame you for wanting this bass. It is a serious looker!!

Wow, that's NICE! Congrats!

Wow, what a bass! Excellent buy/find, well worth the money you paid for it.

Yes, had to scramble to sell some things to come up with the cash, but I simply couldn't resist. Looks like I'm on my way to collecting a 4001 for every year of the 70's.

Now that's a goal worth having!

Dammit, that's stunning!

Congrats, Rod!

That was my Holy Grail bass for years. I missed out on a few...probably none that nice though. Finally got one that's almost as nice, but I haven't been playing much lately. Guess I need to get on that soon!

Hi Jeff! Nice to see you around!

[johnallg]

Beautiful bass Rod! What a beauty!

Welcome back Jeff.... Don't be a stranger around here.

Hi guys! I kinda feel like Rip Van Winkle!

I'm hoping to plug in, tune up, and rock out (Timothy Leary?) for bit here soon...but I haven't played for so long that I think I'll embarrass myself if anyone's listening!
