When I still had my 4005WB I gigged it once in a while, but it's quite rare to see a 4005 on stage. The singer/bass player of The Klaxons uses one: (bad pic_
He also has a white 4005 clone with Fender-headstock. I have some pics.

Thanks for sharing Chris - any pic of a 4005 being played onstage is a good pic!

He also printed one with a 3D printer. You can see the process here:

Are we going to start seeing discussions of tone plastic on the internet soon?

Sure couldn't hear squat on that video.
Nothing earth shaking about making something like that on a printer. Just need CAD and p-o-o-p it out.

I want a one-piece carbon fiber Ric. It will be featherweight. And will never need a truss rod adjustment.

All you need is the neck to be CF, then you are good. Surely they have pondered that, but it would be costly to say the least.

I played a one-piece CF bass (with G&L L2000 pickups and hardware, body shaped more or less like a Fender-type) and it was an unbelievably featherweight bass. I'm sure RIC can have a prototype made for them in a 4003 shape. It will be an expensive bass for sure.
