I've never seen anything like these, wow! Did they ever do a bass version?

Apparently a handful of 4005 LightShows were made.

Check out this video; the 4005LS comes in at 2:05

Wow... I had no idea these existed. A little on the ostentatious side, but if you're a real showman... how could you not have one of these?

Drummers hate 'em, because they steal the show.

If you're not a showman, they turn you into one.

great show.

If only the trc's would light up too, that'd too cool.

So in the interest of creating more RAS, how many Lightshow Basses were made?

Five, I believe.....and i'm pretty sure they are all accounted for (one of which was owned by John Entwhistle).

Good, I can put this entirely out of my mind.

Or then again, I suppose you could make your own controller (http://www.lightorama.com/) and pull down some old Christmas lights...

yeah....but cutting up a 4005 for that is such a drag.

How did the lights and other additives effect the tone? I remember McGuinn using one in the Seventies a little.
