I never thought I'd like the MG but it's awesome on this bass. The BT is gorgeous. This thing is in immaculate condition. I can't wait to plug it in to my rig tomorrow. The pics suck. My house has such terrible lighting. Will try and get better ones tomorrow.

Nice one Sean!!!!

Beautiful Sean!

That's a great combo....I loved the look of my MG/BT 4003s5. It's one of those combinations that always looks better in person.

Very nice Sean! Congrats and enjoy it.

Cool! This one must have a sweet neck. Is it September '85 by chance?

Posted: **Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:38 pm**

That does look sweeeeeet, Sean. Congrats!

Got a few CDs there, I see!

John, it's an October model.

Howard, there's only about 1400 or so.

I have just been oggling this bass. I think it may be a keeper. SOME LESS BLACK!

"I think it may be a keeper."

Cool, Sean. I have it's brother here...if it's not a keeper for you, sell it to me!

A real looker Sean! You are right, they look better in person and do grow on you. I wasn't too sure while awaiting my S MGBT but when it got to me, I really liked it. I have their (S)ister.

Congrats, Sean. Mapleglo with black trim is such an awesome look.

Not to mention the look of the split PG. I love it!

Mike the figuring in yours is incredible.

Posted: **Fri Sep 14, 2007 8:49 pm**

It's a beauty, Sean! Enjoy!

Welcome to the '85 4003 MG/BT club!

Posted: **Sat Sep 15, 2007 4:44 am**

Yeah, I'm not a huge Mapleglo fan UNLESS it has black trim.
Nice ax dude.

I'm not much of an MG fan either, but that one's VERY nice!

I really think that the split guard & 7 screw tail are very desirable features. Quite distinctive & very practical.
