That's right, he is from New Zealand, I believe. Isn't his name Armstrong? Ok so there are 2 here.

Kendall's was not real. Remember? He had a bass painted up to look like one. I think he eventually let it go on eBay.

Two what? Rednecks or people from New Zealand? I lived in Texas for a while.. don't I count for both?

Hi Blair and welcome! Please post pics if you can. As you might have guessed, the 4002 goes over very well here.

Welcome to the forum Blair....

I've been watching Blair play that bass since the early 80's. I just thought of it as Blair's....not as something all that rare. Hell , I saw it all the time.It seemed pretty common.

I might add he's one heck of a bassplayer....

Blair, welcome. I have a 73 fretless that I'm into too. However, a 4002 fretless is just too cooool....

Love to see a few pics of that beauty too...

Blaire, I hope someday I can get publishable photos of your fretless 4002. I'm preparing a book on Rick basses and photographing (or collecting photos) of every one I can find. Your's may be unique and has a place in the book. Keep me in mind.

Has anyone in the forum ever seen another fretless 4002 ?
