Good luck, let us know if you bail out.

Good luck! I bought a Jetglo '73 back in April and while I paid through the wazoo for it, I love it. It has all the essential features (full-width inlays, split tailpiece, Grovers, silkscreen TRC, checkered binding, 1/2" spaced toaster) and best yet, it looked almost as good as the day it was made! It's essentially a 9.5 out of 10. Needless to say, it doesn't leave the house.

If you get that around $2,250-2500 Ken that's a good price imo. Even at the asking price of $2700, I dare say a few people here and lurking would be interested...

Count me in as an interested lurker

Marc, you will be the first to know as long as you promise to change the guard add a finger rest and thats it.

I have a guard and finger rest ready to go! I'd be just as happy if it were in your hands or anyone in the forum.

Funny reason to like a 71 4001 in jetglo - I love baseball, and used to collect cards as a kid(didn't we all). The 1971 Topps Baseball set had black borders(or should I say jetglo)

This isn't the first time this bass in Italy has been discussed here, Ken!

Hey Ron, I was just at the link for your 73 4001. Nice bass! I have a 72 MG, and oddly enough it doesn't have the checkerboard binding, and the fretboard markers don't go all the way to the edge!

I do know it's a 72 though, since I bought it new. May have been in November. They had to custom order me the MG. Odd.

Always wanted a Jetglo, but my friend talked me into the MG. I was on the fence over it.
