Yeah right.........good luck

Seventeen grand? Good thing I'm not a fan of the 4005. Yes, I know they're fine basses, but the shape just does nothing for me.

I'll bet that's the one Dave and I saw in Philly last May, rumored to have sold at top-dollar, and then some...

Edgar sold his too early .

Graham - I wonder if they'd take 16 grand??

Hahahahaha. Right.

If it isn't raining tomorrow like it has been a lot lately over here, I'm gonna be going into the west of of London....I always have a look around Denmark street especially as there are always Rics in the stores.

If I do I'll take a peek as I've never even clapped eyes on a 4005....I WON'T be taking my credit card with me though as to avoid any temptation!....

....Not that the price is very tempting anyway...

Lefty, I am pretty sure that it is the same one.......

I hear that they paid $10K for it...

The one you saw at Philly went to the California Guitar Center- they paid $9500.00 for it.

Thanks for the info Ray Man

For anyone looking for one, Rics R' Us has two in stock - a '66 going for £3995 and an '81 going for £2995. Not bad deals at all.

$17k!!! for a '67!!?!!
Now that is funny!

Anyone know what the Rose Morris 4005 went for, ultimately?

Robert, I'm keeping that under my hat for the time being - I'll e-mail you off-Forum.

Is it coming to the 75th, Gary?

Oh, yes, it will be there! It and the 4003S/5 SPC "quasi-Blackstar" need to have their pictures taken for Paul's book.
