For your viewing pleasure.

Yeah, seen that picture on a few occasions... drooled every time.

Seen his Fenders?

All absoloutely stunning.

That is a great example. Funny, I found the same bass on a Japanese site too....He bought it in the UK if I remember correctly.

That is a very original bass, which has a serial number DK a few away from Gerry's. Even looks to have the original TRC screws. That fretboard which looks like Brazilian Rosewood is much darker than both mine too....

Andy, I think the fretboard has been stripped on that bass, or has no finish left on it. I'd bet it's had a coat or two of fretboard oil or something similar along the way...

Nice. I always like Bob's playing too.

I corresponded with Bob when his web site first went up and he's a very nice guy. He was kind enough to send me a pic and the s/n of his bass. It's 3 away from mine but the Japanese site Andy mentions also claims the same s/n. They aren't the same bass and I think someone is misreading a digit somewhere along the line. Maybe a 3 for an 8. I know Bob went to a lot of trouble to find a 4001S.
I think you're correct Lefty. The fretboard looks just like the Aug 64 I just sold and that was stripped to bare wood.

Yup, could see the dots there on the neck without the lacquer covering them.

Still a much darker fretboard than mine though. The later 64,s with the DK serial numbers do seem darker overall.

That's one NICE fireglo color!

That is one of the nicest fireglo finishes.

wow, he has alot of nice guitars.

I like how he refers to Sir Paul as "His Lordship".
