Why do that to a 4005....I'm not even kidding now - I got so excited when I read the title...then when I saw the pic I felt so sad...I'm still sad now....as sad as when my football team got relegated Image

BTW - where has the wanted and for sale sections gone to?

Given the current prices for 4005's this is still a potentially good core that could be restored, pictures don't show the fretboard at all well.

This 4005 has been relisted 3 times in the past month, if I recall correctly. It is restorable. I find the price to be right on the edge of palatability. But it WILL sell within 6 months at that price.

If it was a double-bound 4005, I woulda been on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich...

Looks like mine did when I got it! Hole in the same place and everything.

If you've noticed, it seems like every bass this seller lists has problems or mods. Kinda strange.

This one has been listed for about four or five months, maybe even more.

i don't think he is doing himself any favors by describing the re-finish as "turd brown".

What does "neck with 2 frozen truss rods" mean?
Is this terminal or fixable?

What did people do to those basses? Buy one and go, "Hmm, you know what, I don't want these two pickups . . . I think I'll stick a P-bass pickup right in the middle here . . . where's my dremel?"

"Turd Brown"

Calling it as he sees it...

Refreshing and honest talk from a seller. You don't always get that...
