I'm sure Schack Basses made something like this for NAMM one year, just as a one-off, non-production model. Can't find any pix of it, though.

PW or DW?

Has to! Please....

Aye, had one like that who nearly broke a good band up. We were a 7-piece funk band, two girl singers, and us guys made it a rule not to get involved with them, for obvious reasons. So what does the guitarist do? Pulls one of them (on the sly) and they begin a clandestine affair which eventually manifests itself as a schism between them and us. They take to arriving, late, together and leaving in silence. They also quit socialising with the rest of the band and eventually, after a few weeks as an item, split.

.....making decisions in your absence.

Being a Steinie fan for most of my adult days, I'll have to pick up a copy of this book. Thanks for the heads (or headless) up!

I had an Ibby 2388BDX around that time and the single coil 'mudbucker' was as weak as sin and I, too, fancied the Model 1, the one with the coil split. I think it was about £79 back then and again I, too, couldn't afford it so I went with a Bill Lawrence dual rails 'bucker.

So, there's maybe some chance that this is another 4000 with a new 'board? Or the original 4000? See pic below from the link I posted earlier. Mmm....it isn't. The BTLOTL bass has a skunk stripe.

Anyone seen this?? Lemmy's gear

You know what I would do? Stay away from Hi-Gains!

The carbon weave was on my Series II back in '85 but it was a true weave, under and over.

Also, what's going on with the saddles/tailpiece?

A 4001S or a 4000 with a TB pup?

Poplar? That's a pretty light wood. And those caps are ultra-thin!

I liked the spalted bodies that Vantage did a few years ago. Never seen one on a Jazz. Not bothered about the neck.
