Thanks Elys. I'm glad you finally got that 21 fretter! Wish I still had my old one. I sold it to Daryl Jones (Lowdbass) in late 1999 who promptly traded it to The Bass Palace (Bob Hynoski). I called Daryl a few months after it sold to see if I could buy it back and that's when he told me about trading it away. Daryl did not even know it had 21 frets! I'm sure Bass Palace made a bundle on it. I called Bob and he supposedly did not remember the bass..........

Yeah RIGHT he did not remember how many tens of times markup he made on it

I wish I had known you then - it would still be here and well-loved and protected too

You could have visited it anytime you fancied...

I understand someone wants my bass...

Not someone - everyone.

Will post more photo's when it arrives on Tuesday! Thanks again to Dale Fortune!!

Hey Bob, I hope that is not the case it's gonna ship in!

Since my first Rick bought new in 1971 was a March 1971 eggplant burgundy, I can heartily agree with you that this is the most beautiful 4001 Rick color ever

Congratulations Bob, I can already hear the chanting from all around the Forum world on this one: We Want Photos! We Want Photos! We Want Photos!

They also made some dark one's in April of 1973, not sure of the lighter/darker timeline.

For Bob and Jason, if the neck is straight but one rod is tight and the other not, I think that is all right. My 2004 4003 is that way, one rod very tight, the other barely snugged, but the neck is straight and stable.

Gorgeous eggplant burgundy, Mark! That is the same shade

Yeah I used to have a Marauder. If I remember correctly it cost me not much over $200 with a nice hard case.
I have a B&W pic of it around here somewhere.

The bass arrived safely today! Here are a couple of photo's. Thanks to Dale for the work and Sergio for the pickup. Now, where can I get a tugbar?

Here she is with my '66 Precision. (which will be going to Dale's to get frets put back on!)

Sweeeet!
