I totally missed this thread!

1 - I love the white one!!!!
2 - I'll post some pics again of my WB
3 - There are some Youtube movies of Entwistle playing a Lightshow live! I'll try to find one.


Maybe nice to know. On the Illumination album of Paul Weller, Oasis' Noel Gallagher plays bass on a couple of songs with a 4005.

And we need some Mani pics here!

I'll post more soon!

I already wrote something about my 4005WB. I bought it very cheap (1.600 euros) some years ago in Holland. It has some issues:

- Someone routed a hole in the top for another pick up. My luthier replaced the neck pick up half an inch to the bridgeside to civer this hole.
- Electronics. Everything is original, but it's wired wrongly, probably after putting the orignal pick up back. I have the original scheme, so I have to get it right once.
- The binding on the back is a bit loose on one place.
- The inside of the body is painted black, behind the f-hole.

But I love her:) Berth's girlfriend made a lot of beautiful pics when Berth borrowed the bass for a while.





Loose binding:


Neck pick up placed to the back:


Nice bookmatched back:


Black behind the f-hole:

Acoustic gig:




BTW: I saved this bass big time. The previous owner wanted te install LEDs in the hole behind the neck pick up








No comments on the shirts. Long story...:


You wanna see this bass live?

I only used the bass for the vid. You hear a '76 Thunderbird through the Orange. I changed the Orange to a Hiwatt 200 recently.

Just for the record. My girfriends pictures are far better than these. I made these.

I didn't knew that! Thanks Berth!

His own 'version' of a LS.

That man was playing some actie five string and he asked something like: 'What do you want with this bad old bass?' He just didn't knew what he was selling...

..all the better for you!

I hope this isn't against the forum rules. It isn't my bass and I have no connection to this company.

My TransGreen '67 4005.

A photo of this one belongs in this thread -- Mani's "Jackson Pollock 4005":

I suppose I should finally get around to posting the Vault Jam '08: Darren, Biscuti, and Graham on 4005, 4005/8, and 360/12F, all FG, all unplugged, and all man. Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

So, as the first of the Gang of Three to respond, I claim one of the two "all man" spots!
