WHAT IN THEEE HECK?!?!?!?!
According to Paul Wilczynski's Rickenbacker mug, there at one time existed a 4005 Lightshow BASS??? Can anybody offer more detail about this? Paul, I'm looking at you...

There were a few made, check out the Smith book's color pic section for a nice pic of one with two 331LS guitars, and a few babes!

Im more interested in what appears to be a Blueburst 4005? on that mug.
Hard to tell though.

It is an Azureglo 4005 on the mug that you see peeking out from around the edge.

Thought so,, couldnt really tell in the photo. I thought someone may have had a secret restoration in the wings.

That fella must be ****** about the shirt because it sure is a cool (hot?) bass.
Okay, where can I get one and how much?
Bass or the shirt, what ever costs less, no raise this year.
Great photo's Jeff, thanks!

I think you'll have to settle for the shirt, I'm afraid!

The "fella" with the shirt and Lightshow bass is the late John Entwhistle "Ox" of The Who. He was quite the collector.
Ted says there were two Lightshow 4005s. Don't know for sure. It appears there were at least two, anyway. The one in the photos on the white rug I think is in Japan.
