I expect quite a few similar comments.
The ultimate Marmite bass perhaps?

The same colour too!!

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Yes, quite.
I've seen quite a few of these and the darkness of the oiling varies quite widely across their numbers. I'm not so keen on those as heavy as this. It kind of ruins the shadow effect of the relief.

I love it. I wish they did a lefty. It's just a little bit evil, the oak leaves just like the SS imagary.

Yes I'm sure the Rickenwaffe will approve

If memory serves correctly, I think this particular bass was one of a trio 4004LK's that were ordered by PM Blues in the USA. I believe it is the one on the left in this photo. PM Blues were asking $12,500 per bass, although I think the one in the middle may have been more as it was one of the first in the series and has different pick-up placement.

Still reminds me of a cuckoo clock.
