Buy the way, I sold the SG 4003/5 (Next to the MG) to POTR two years ago. I needed money for a C64.
I am still kicking myself.

So Dave, tell me about the minor wear that Chris mentioned in the listing. How severe is it? Also, did you notice what strings were on it? I suspect that it has Rotos based on the red silk at the top and would be curious about fret wear.

Ron is not getting much help in this thread.

Ron;
You are really testing my memory;
I do not recall any damage at all; the action was low;
I do not recall fret wear.
Un-pluged, it had a good loud sound.
If you can wait; I’ll be there again at weeks end and I can give it the “once over”
for you.

Chris seems to be very conservative when he lists equipment. He had a white 4003s/8 a while back and he had described a few marks on it over the phone. I ordered it and everything he described was very minor. I usually prefer a conservative estimate on a bass' condition rather than the sales puff I usually see on Ebay.
Speaking of Ebay, I saw a MG BT 4003 there, but the Emperor has a bid on it and I suspect it will get close to Chris' price in the end. Plus, Chris has a 48-hour approval policy, so I'd rather risk spending a little more and getting the one he has if I pull the trigger.

"It's only Mapleglo !!!!"
Don't worry Jim, I own a Fireglo 4003 and have a Fireglo 4001C64 on order. That MG BT combination looks stunning to me.
