I can't remember who had the 4005 - sweet though. There were alot of dealers there. The convention center was hugh.
I was tempted a few times but I just laid out some serious funds for my 88' Pete Townsend 1998 LE.

It was fun and they have another show coming this spring.

Thanks for the photos Kevin

I have a bass on consignment at POTR...it was really weird to see it in the photo from half a world away!

Thanks for the pictures, very interesting!

More ricks there, than there were at Del Mar and Arlington put together! Maybe worth a trip next year?

Graham come on over in the Spring..

The show is about an hour from my house.....

I'm up for it Graham, after all there was even a lefty 330!!!

The show is still on today, Sunday. If my buddy brings the 66' 330 12 string home, I'll shot some pictures of that too - if it doesn't sell. He's probably going to price it high because I think he going to hold on to her.

I was there Saturday Morning until about noon.

The 4005 had one of the darkest Fireglows I have ever seen, almost a plum-color in the dark portions. Could have been a refin, if it was it was a great job. Unfortunately, I didn't get to look at it for very long.

Lots of stuff there. If you wanted a Fender, you wouldn't have had a problem, LOL.

I almost went...I have a friend in college at Eastern...he ALMOST talked me into it....

Next one is in the spring, you say?....I think I'll be attending THAT one!

John,

I've seen another 4005 like that. It was a WB too. I'd hazard a guess and say that could be a late 68/9 bass, where the FG goes dark again after the 67 period.

Or, maybe at the time someone was blending the new BG in the mix too

Tell me, is that $3.5K being asked for this 73?!

Andrew,
Which 73'? I don't know all the models by year but I have a book. If you let me know which 73' RIC (color, model) I can post a better pic of that one.

Here's the 4005 blown up:

Now that’s the first 4005 to really poke me in the side (with the exception of John’s burgundyglo). If I didn’t have 10K laid out on new Rick’s already this year I may have considered that one…

looks like they're asking 8k for it.


....must.... resist.... gjlgfhkjfgnkk ....

Kevin, it's the MG bass in the link I posted. Your 70th post.
