I hope to have complimentary copies for all contributors. Having a chance to shoot your Lemmy, Brian, makes you a contributor!

Here are a couple more: Ted's Blackstar and Tuxedo. FYI for some: a true "Tuxedo" is this limited edition with a white painted fingerboard and tiny black dot position markers. Many sellers use the term "tuxedo" for a standard white with black trim. Nope, it's gotta have the white fingerboard.

mmmmm.....Blackstar!!!! One of the best playing basses at the Confluence.

Even if you used every one of my basses, I would want to pay you for a copy. Your book will stand as the standard on the subject for decades. It is an honor to somehow be a part of it Paul.

Paul, was there a bird hovering over the blackstar before the shot was taken?

If you must know, Brian got a little excited after he played it. Sorry you asked?

Wow.

Wish I coulda been there.

HOw often do you get more than one or two 4005's in the same place at once? It can;t be that frequent.

Back to the original thread, Paul those shots look terrific. If that's the quality of what's going to be in the book, it'll be a winner.

That shot of Ted with my 4001 project is very fitting, as even though it's in my possesion, I feel like because of the effort's he put into it, it's part his.

Agreed. Great looking pics of some very fine basses. The book should be a must have for anyone who loves the Rickenbacker bass.
