Paul, with the extra contours on the original model Cheyenne, I don't think making it a Laredo would have been done; painting over seems a more likely solution, especially in light of what Ben says the practice is. And Ben, thanks for the added on the 4004C.

I don't know about that. I have a Fireglo Laredo with a maple neck that has the same extra contours the original Cheyenne did. The body is all maple, by the way.

Eric, could you post pics? Or is it in the registry? Never heard of one.

That bass has morphed still further Paul. It's now a 5-string with 4003 appointments and living with a furum member in Turkey.

So this is what "she" looked like originally, ha? It belongs to a friend of mine, who I purchased my JG V63 from. I had a chance to meet her last week. Great workmanship, Dane. Really flawless conversion...

This is what it looked like before I sold it to Dane:
