Me too Henny, they are both beautiful in different ways. I have to say the solid walnut body was sensational!

Its a beautiful bass(the Cheyenne I), but I favor my 4001 style Ricks. I'd like to try the Cheyenne II though.

Warren: That's a really sharp bass. Have you thought about selling one of your family members?

Jeff I wish it was mine!! I tried to buy that very one last year, I found it on a Japanese website (guitar shop), but they wouldnt ship it to the uk! So u can imagine, I wasnt very happy as 2060's never come round very often!

None of them are his, Jeff.

It's fun to watch him yearn so badly, however...

Thanks Henny! I did have a black 4001 once, before I moved abroad to Israel for 5 years, the last bass I had was a Wal Mach 2 in black, that I had made by Electric Wood, I knew after I ordered it, I should have ordered a 4004 from Rosetti! If I hadnt had been made redundant at Xmas I would have had another one by now!

lol - just kidding, mate. I know what it's like!

The Cheyenne II is a nice bass. I have a translucent blue model and it has a lot of deep end growl. I played it at a jam session one day and someone likened it to a Gibson Ripper (gasp!).

Thats ok, I knew you were kidding Henny, luckily I still have my sense of humour!

Ron, can you post any photo's of your wonderful Trans Blue 4004c? I would love to see it, Im sure the others would too, if they havent already seen them!

Actually, my warped sense of humor and poor communication skills saw to it that my last post was not interpereted the way I meant!

I agree that the bolt on neck model above is one of the sweetest examples of one of those that I've ever seen. But I was talking about the 4004 pictured earlier in the thread that Warren is jonesing for. What I was trying to suggest was that...well...perhaps Warren could look into selling one of his family members(i.e. a sister, grandmother, stepmother, etc)...and using those funds to purchase said 4004.

Now I get you, was a bit slow all day! I wouldnt get enough with them, selling my car would be a safer bet! And there was me saying earlier that at least I hadnt lost my sense of humour, I think I spoke too soon!
