Nice score Joey. You can't go wrong with an S!
Is it just me or do the horns on these set neck 4001S basses look a little different? Sergio noticed that the neck seems to be at a slightly different angle. But it looks to me like the cresting wave upper horn gets a sort of a McCartney-esque rounding off treatment.

Yeah, I've thought about the black trc, maybe I can send this one into RIC so I can buy a black one with chrome letters if that is available, if not then I'll get one with white letters.
All black hardware...hmmm...
Sean, it might be a while before I sell it, a very long while. LOL
Nice 8 string headstock, Harry.

Yeah Jeff, the horns look a little different to me also on the S basses.

”Nice 8 string headstock" - thanks!
Personally, I don't think the black hardware is necessary - there's a picture of Brian's black 8-string with chrome in the "Mr. Silver has just arrived" thread and I think it looks awesome, as does yours!

For about 5 minutes of your time and $8 in supplies......
If you want just send me your TRC and I'll do it for ya' for the grand sum of nuthin'. If you don't like it Ric will still accept it as a trade in.

I was noticing also that the horns are rounder on my S . I think because it has no binding there a little more subtle in appearance . I also thought the neck angle was a little forward but i checked it with a couple other 4001's i have and they all have the same neck angle

Joey - Fantastic score!
IMO, you must leave it JG...
JG + S = Sex with Strings.
Get a black TRC, leave the hardware chrome... fantastic stunner.
Envious here.

This is for Jim Glen.
I know how too much JG gives him hives. This is more his style.
