Struggled with this decsion for awhile. I was torn between this one and a new MG 4003. The VERY competitive pricing on the new 4003's made it even more difficult. I always said if I ever found a clean Ric Bass in either Autumn Glo or Montezuma Brown, I'd go for it. Time for me to put up or shut up! :wink: In the end, those subtle brown tones and vintage mojo won me over. So here it is:

Gorgeous Autumn Glo! Congratulations.

This looks like a genuine, bonafide ATG with the matte finish and black TRC.

If I'm not mistaken the same color with a gloss finish was called Walnut Glo.

I have a '77 4001 ATG that is one of my faves! I love the sound of these mid-70's 4001's.
