Sweet. I like the design, it's like a J that's happy to see you.

It's a good looking bass and I'm sure it plays as good as it looks.

It is a new model. Designed in conjunction with noted bassist Sekou Bunch. It has a Fender compatible 20 fret neck as opposed to their other bolt neck bass the B40 which has a 22 fret neck, and the neck-through basses which have 24 frets.

I haven't played an SB4000 yet but I love the neck on my B4.

Some slightly better pics, only afterward did I notice my son musta been playing with the camera and got fingerprints on the lens, oh well.





The headstock pic captures the color the best.
