It is way overdue for a Mapleglo Love Thread!

Wow, nice Hall of Flamers there CJ!

Here's another...

Love that '64 MG Tony.

Bob, That's a stunning piece of bass guitar. You should have no trouble finding a buyer for that...

This is my newly bought 4004; the prettiest I've ever seen. It's got an amazing neck and sounds incredible.

Ya gotta love that Caribbean rosewood! Gorgeous bass ya got there!

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, after playing this briefly at rehearsal tonight, it's evident that it's not going to work (FWIW I have the same problem with forearm contours, a la Fender). It'll therefore be up for sale shortly.

Now that we have seen the 4000 series in MG how about these 2 gems (76' 3000 and 77' 3001)

[cjj]

Sweet!

By the way Scott (armybass) I cant see any volute on the rear headstock of your 4003.
Do the current run of 4003 basses follow the lines of the V63 and the early 4001 at the end of the neck?

[RicOSoundMan]

And of course my 09 4003.... Keeping in the spirit of he 4000 series'

Love that '64 MG Tony.

+1!

This is my newly bought 4004; the prettiest I've ever seen. It's got an amazing neck and sounds incredible. Unfortunately the contouring - rather ironically - is aggravating nerve problems in my right arm and so I may have to let it go.

Now that's how I like Mapleglo, on a 4004Cii. Sorry to hear that it's aggravating the condition in your arm

[henry5]

Cheers Joey. I'm pretty sorry myself! These are pretty pricey in the UK and to have to put it up for sale so soon - and for a reason I just never anticipated - is so disappointing, especially give how fantastic it is in all other ways.
