Well, certainly not. This is just one example of numerous entry errors in the register that I found while using the register as a reference for my book. I've offered to Peter to help clean up errors like this one once the book situation dies down. This is, of course, a 4001 in combination with an errant typing finger, but there are other user-inserted errors that are more insidious to someone researching. We should all understand that this is not the fault of administrators or some overworked drone in a basement transcribing copy. We, the users, and thereby the creators of the register, are at fault for the errors. I'm sure "we" will straighten out as much as we can!

More likely the fault of an errant mouse click. Such is the nature of drop-down menus, it's quite easy to move off the intended selection just as you click...

On the "Tuxedo" issue, there are a lot of players/collectors out there (probably more than those of us who know better) who call ANY white Rick bass a "tuxedo." All of us smartypants here know that a real "Tuxedo" is the 4003SPC with the all-white paint job. Just another example of corrections that can be made.

Keerekt again! Here's what a Tuxedo (or a Redneck, or a Blackstar) looks like under the paint:
