 :o :o :o

I haven't been following 4002 sales recently but this seems to be far above any others I've seen. And even a willing buyer will want some usable photos.

 So thats what I had !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the mid 80's I found one of these in a local store. Someone had cobbled it together with suspect parts. It was Birdseye maple with checkerboard binding and dot inlays. It looked like a bass carcase that left the factory incomplete. I put it together as best I could with the parts available, remember this is before ebay. Sounded great looked cool as hell.......................played like shit so I offed it. Wish I kept it now !

What - the bathroom pics aren't good enough for ya?   ;D



At least the carpeted mat around the toilet is out of frame.  Oh wait - no it isn't.  My bad.

Nice bass.  I'm not too suprised at his asking price, with what 4005s and the like are fetching these days.  Way outta my league, though!

Probably worked a deal outside Ebay - get to advertise to the world for the cost of the listing, and avoid the "final value fee"

For that kind of money you would think one would get decent pictures.
