You can NEVER have too many!

I've got a '76 4001 AZ, an '84 4003 MG and an '08 4004Cii MG.

I need a 4002, a 4005, a ...... whole lot more money...
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit: Since everyone else is adding what they used to have: '74 4001 MG, wish I still had that one...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Just one at this point... '78 4002

But I've owned and sold the following over the years (I know, stupid, stupid, stupid!)

67 FG 4005
68 MG 4001 (one of the first without a horseshoe)
72 JG 4001
76 AG 4001
80 JG 4001

Wish I had most of those back!

Three.

4003 AFG / 2007
4003FL AFG / 2008
4003 MG / 2009

They all have really thin necks. The 2009 is the one I ordered first. The FL I ordered last. The 2007 "just came up" and I needed a Ric for the studio because my Jazz Bass's pickups were failing--and I didn't want a second Jazz Bass.
