Nice bass Jon. Was there no binding on it?

Yeah....looks like an "S" with FWMOP's....

Might just be the fuzzy picture, but it looks like it has binding to me. Very Cool!

I can see binding on it, the pics not too clear but it's there...that's a nice bass Jon!

High gains started to appear on 4001s in '68...

I have high gains on my '68 4000, but the longer old style ring.

I used to one three of the basses in the "Slog" photo.
The 60 4000 , the 65 4000, and the 67 4005, all to the left of the 4005/8.
I still have a copy of the photo....
Man, the 60 4000FG laying down was SWEET!; wish I'd owned that one!

My 68 had a horseshoe in it along with checkered binding and all the goodies.

The photo of the bass just sucks when I lowered the resolution of it to fit on this site. You can clearly see the details of the bass in the higher res photo.

Jeff, Is that a bound headstock, or did you pain it like that?

Posted: **Sun Jan 29, 2006 1:58 pm**

that is a white 4003s5 that I put vinyl auto pinstriping on ... a reversable mod ... I got the idea from the 4002 headstock ...
