A '78 4001 is the GOTM in the September issue of Premier Guitar magazine.

Anybody here own it?

What, a 4001?

I own one....but it's backwards. And, as far as I know......nobody has broken into my place to photograph it

Um, the specific on in the article!

Sorry Jeff, I only have a '74... not a '78. But I'm sure someone around here does. Until then you may want to read about it in Guitar Of The Month...

Thanks for the post, Jeff.

Guys, I went diggin' around Premier Guitar Magazine's site, and found the bass in the back issues page! Click on the September 2009, an on-line version pops out! Go to Page 12, 20, 189 and see the good stuffs.
By the way, the issue contains a lot of bass stuffs for your reading pleasure!

......so, you saying that no one here would suck up and admit to owning this bass?
