hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Some of these 4001CS's have had really hard lives. The owner of this particular example clearly thought it had been fitted with wheels as it appears to have been dragged a fair distance on it's back edge! Love the pick holder. A nice touch I think.

Stacker Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I saw that a few days back. I actually did a WTF?? when I saw the pick holder! Niiiice.......... I guess this reinforces the mantra that instruments should be [i]played[/i], not hidden away. But, by God, what a mess of a CS! I'd have loved to have seen that one in action!

Stacker Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 See, given that he's 'Stateside, if I was that seller, I'd ship the bass back to RIC and get it properly refinished!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Would they do that? It would have to be a complete refinish though wouldn't it or it would look even worse than it does now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of nicks in the neck. That would annoy me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
