I'm sure the reserve is around $1500 anyway.

I have a 1975 (QF) 4001FL BG in VG+ shape that I will be putting up for sale as soon I do a little work on it.

Oops! That was a 1977 date code!

OK, here are some poor-quality ones:

I plan on taking some better ones, of course, before selling it.

That Moiré-like pattern on the silverface grillcloth is so bizarre...

Gary,
The bass looks great, I've wanted to try a FL but I've never been able to get my hands on one. Did you hear from Kenny yet?

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

dedgoat, no word from Kenny yet.

The black plastic is original. I like how it contrasts nicely with the white binding and chrome hardware. Being that I'm mainly a rhythm player and only a hack bass player, I find the fretless basses great to play. I use a chromatic tuner when I practice on them to monitor my finger positions. Also, they are great for practicing against recordd material that is off-key.
