If you could have another forum members bass ...

Tough choice...hmmm...

Gary Clausson's all black 4003S/5
But then again, there's Gary Clausson's 4002

Then there is Erik Kutzler's eight stringer, something I could use right now!

Also John Hall's Shadow.

There are plenty of JG v63s out there but the first I saw was Mellisa B's two in one band, how about that. Of the three I played at the Midwest confluence, I liked Ted's the best. I liked somebody's idea of a V63 bright white refin, but I haven't seen one yet. Wints or Clauson, no need to show your whiteys at this time ;D

Let's see V63s confirmed produced in:
JG
MG
FG
sea green
any other customs?

sea green V63
And John Ashfield's 4003.
Just gotta take something from him.

How about Wints Emerald Greenburst 4001s? I, mean, if he's offering... LOL!

Wes, there has been a turquoise and possibly a white v63.

Is that thing even strung? IIRC it has some serious neck issues, but there is the possibility that it is the same bass that Roger Waters used in the early days of Pink Floyd.

I generally don't try to covet thy neighbors bass, but a 4002 would be sweet...any would do. I think those are almost as rare as the Lemmy's (which frankly don't do it for me).

Ed,

She's up and running...

Still a b**ch to play though with that headstock angle/high action. I now know why I left it in the case for 15 years...

Back on topic, I think Ginger's 4002FL is very cool. I remember an old forumites 21 fretter with an original ebony neck as well...

Simon Mole's

The John Entwistle 4005

beatlefan · Post by **beatlefan** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 2:24 pm

John Biscuti's 'burg 4005WB .... or maybe Lindsay's blueburst 4004cii.

I already own two of my dream basses....hmmmm....maybe a "perfect" Shadow would finish me off...

I dunno,,,I kinda like Paul Boyers "Mink" bass.

cheyenne · Post by **cheyenne** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 3:16 pm

Thanks for the vote on the CII Ted. If I ever decide to sell, you'll be the first I'll contact.

I forgot about the Mink! That's on my list too, definitley.

jon · Post by **jon** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 3:35 pm

Dave Pascoe's 4080/12 restoration would be top of my list, but that's probably not a surprise to anyone that knows me.

Ted's '63 4001; any of Graham's early 4000's or 4001's, but probably most of all -- Simon's Entwistle 4005. I liked it so much I bid on it at Sothebys (sorry, Simon).
