OK - This isn't as interesting as the 4001 CS string bel

Post by bottom4 »

Last night I saw what looked to be a 4003 with a toaster & horseshoe. The bass was all white, it didn't appear to have any binding but it definitely wasn't a 4003S - it had triangle markers. I don't think the pick guard was original either - it was somewhat transparent - in the right light you could see the wirering behind it.

This bass was listed as a 4004.

What do you think?

Brad, that's what I'm thinking - most likely a 4003.

Sea, I didn't plug in. I might get back there tomorrow- if so I'll let you know!

A Lighshow?

Peter, what was the model # of those?

The ideal mix leaves the bass player louder than the rest of the band put together!

There were no lightshows with the horseshoe pickup. And if you could find one for under 8-10 grand, you better buy it if you can! (The model # on the lightshow is 4005LS.)
