As subject, I'm in the UK and looking to buy a 4001, preferably 1974 or earlier. I see quite a few 'over the pond' but the import duties make the total cost unreasonable.

Many thanks for the bandwidth,


Lucid.

Im sure i sent you a email on the other forum with a few links to some 4001`s in the UK i dont know if you read it as i never heard anything back from you but there is a `77 on the bay right now in MG.

Hi, Yes thanks, but they are dealers with somewhat high prices. I was hopefully looking for a private trade if anyone knows of any.

Also in response to one of your earlier posts there is a 4003 in DCM for sale also on the Bay.

I started looking for a 74 ish Jetglo, but I noticed they didn't have certain features, Toasters, check binding and full width inlays. So I start looking 73 and find some, the inlays are full width but not crushed pearl, so I find a 72 and this has all the features, so I go for it, I did have to pay, but I feel it's worth it as it's actually got more features than I bargained for, flat Grover's not wavy, no skunk stripe and Walnut wings. A lot happened from 72-74.

Well if it doesn't work out I know where you can get another Jetglo '72, cheap!

Arggh! Stop it! Stop it! I was telling myself before, having now obtained my Azure, the only Ric I'd consider in future (short of winning the lottery) is a '72 Jetglo.....

Nice pic, Sean, please show the rest!!!

Even the toasters smiling

Is it an air-(-string-) bass?

It's got strings on now, and it really does help a lot, .
