That bass has one of the nicest necks ever seen on a RIC. That's why I like early to mid 4001's over 4003's. Funnily enough, the 4004LK has a very early-4001 feel to the neck.
Personally though, I hate MG finished basses. I have no idea why. To me they look huge and unfinished. Sacrilege I know.....

So what will this likely sell for? I have no idea what these early basses are worth nowadays...especially in this condition without original pups.
Hey Marc, share the project decription....come on, let's have it!

I'm thinking around $2200.

I don't like MG much, either. Too plain, I suppose, but on a V or C series bass it's perfect.
You really don't see many 1971's for sale. Too bad someone used it for a high school shop project.

I agree with JB's estimate...

Yep, production seems to have been increased greatly in '72. Either that, or owners just happen to be holding on to their '71's.

Where do you get one of those primer-grey treble pickup covers anyway?!
