Come on, any other 4005 pics out there?

Surely someone has a pic of Hudson's 4005 Purpleburst...right?

Is that a later model Traynor amp and cab you were using in that pic?

I wouldn't know. I never paid attention to what gear I had. I got it by renting, then paying it off. It was a Traynor, that I know.

Always sounded bad, then upon selling it found out both speakers were blown. Got less than was asking, suffice to say.

(Probably why I have 5 guitar amps now. One starts buzzing, get a different one!).

I was driving a Karmann Ghia at the time, so lucky the guitarist had a van!

That pic of Peter was shot at Chicago Music Exchange, before they became unmentionable.

Peter...what color is that lefty on the right?
Is it Ruby or a light Burgundy?

WOW!!!!! That super-dark transparent emerald green is absolutely gorgeous! It looks amazing on the figured back of that bass. Congrats, Kenny, and nice work, Eric! Truly beautiful.
