To me it had a pumped-up Jazz bass sound. BTHT

Well,since the retrovibe link was brought up, my only comment is that it made me see the classic design of the 4003 could be tweaked,without suffering severely in the looks dept,with a simpler directly attached bridge,and the bridge pickup incorporated directly into the body without the surround. I do like the simpler elegance of that design idea. Also, if there is going to be body and neck binding,i would love to see the binding matching on the headstock,too,a la the 4002. Just musing,here....

Kinda like a 4004?
