Can't wait to get a 4004/5 with those new pickups!
Almost pulled the trigger on a new S/5 but I'm gonna wait for the 4004/5.

Bills music in Catonsville Maryland has 4004’s for sale and they ship. They have a website you can Google.

Maybe they will issue a recall to replace the pu's on those.I'd like to find out whether the new pickups would fit my 4004Cii/5...
