Post by StevieDee »

Bloke selling a 1981 4005 on Glasgow/Edinburgh facebook music page. Out of my price range unfortunately but what a beauty.

That's great to see this, I can visualize what I may someday do with my Snowglo 4004L. 8)

It looks like a blob. 4005's can't pull off White.

I'm not a Facebook member, so how much is this 4005 going for? I like it!

As for "Ebony White", I imagine it's like my teeth - too much nicotine, too much coffee, too few visits to dental hygienist! :D 8)

Why the idiotic sticker on the headstock? :?:

Disagree Ilan, I think the 4005 looks fine in white.
