Many of you liked the photos of my new '71 4001 I posted a few weeks back. Well, this '72 showed up on eBay this week and I just had to buy it. I know it has a skunk stripe, but there aren't that many out there in this condition.

Unfortunately I had to sell some things I didn't want to sell to get it, but I think it was worth every penny. One of the cleanest I've seen, and one of the richest shades of FireGlo, probably the best looking of my 3 basses (71, 72, 73). The action is amazing, and it sounds great! Enjoy! (PS: No, my Tardis is not for sale).

Beeeee-utiful!!!!

WOW! That is a stunner!! My hat is off to you! Congrats on a wonderful bass that anyone would gladly have in their collections!!

Wow, that's Rick-O-Porn fur sure! It's in beautiful condition, checker binding, full width crushed pearl inlays, 1/2 inch toaster and a skunk stripe (I personally prefer 'em with the stripe)!

NNNGGGGFFFFUUUUUU!!!

That is truly something.

Wow that is pristine. Love the shading. By the way, nice photography work. Ummmm do you like Fireglo Very nice.

Yes, I like FireGlo. Photos were taken with an iPhone, no flash. It really seems to capture the colors faithfully.

*THUNK*

Well done! Absolutely gorgeous!

What a pristine BEAUTIFUL bass!! I am officially jealous!!

WOW.

Amazing.

I'm with CJ, I too like the skunk stripe.

That is SO TASTY!!!!!

How I WISH they could make them like this again.

Well done, that's one of the best '72s I've ever seen. Wonderful bass.

Man, that looks new! Simply stunning!
Congrats!

That bass is amazing! I'm with Tony and Cj on the Skunkstripe, what a rich FG. Congrats!

I can only echo what eveyone else is saying. That is one of the nicest 4001's i have ever seen,and the condition is almost unbelievable. Congratulations on a stunning bass! And we would love to see a group photo of your collection.
