Here is a nice example of a 4005FG however, can the current market bear the price for this bass?

What do you expect from Olivia's?
They always ask top dollar, and seem to sell things too. But, I've heard they are open to negotiation on prices...

A friend of mine did an offer on an Olvia bassjust after the ebay ad closed. Saves them the Ebay fee at least when they sell via another way than Ebay.

There's another '67 4005 in The UK with a similar price tag once the conversion to Dollars is made.

I prefer the Fireglo one, very expensive, but at least you can see what you get for your money via a decent set of photos which is more than can be said of the one in the UK....just one measly pic......still a nice bass though.

Dang, those Oliva's photos are nice, as always.
They sure make that huge bass look huge - er.

you never know
by the way my parents in law are in Lorain OH and flying back home tomorrow, if you don't have time to take new pics of the bass you could give it to them...It will be my care to post some new images of it as soon as possible
