Wow, this is an active topic. To answer JimG's question:
"Bob, what's the production month of your 71?"
It's a September birthday.
Grant,
Nice BurgundyGlo.

Is it wrong to want the blue Jazz Bass in that picture above?

Jon,

Thanks for the large pic. Its my new windows background.

I've been studying the pic and its tough to tell on 3 of the 4001's, if they have horseshoes. I'm specifically referring to the Burgundy, Mapleglo, and one of the Fireglo's.

Carman, all of the 4001's in the photo have a horseshoe p/u in them.

I have a version of the image that i've sharpened to help show some of the finer detail. The horseshoe p/u's are much easier to see in it.

My email server is currently down (has been since 2pm EST). Once it's up i'll send you this other file.

Andy, once my email server is back up i'll send you a copy.

That 68 BG is killer. I would love to see that for real. Grant's 21 fret bass is one very cool bass too...
