[quote name='Clarky' post='249080' date='Jul 27 2008, 07:45 PM']I think you have bought a 1992 4003S (see link below). "The model 4003S is a standard model bass without Deluxe features as bindings, triangle inlays and stereo outputs." You have bargain of the year! Congratulations, you have saved yourself at least £600

PS here is Lemmy playing a 4003S (or maybe its predecessor the 4001S)

Agreed - today I went to my local car boot & came home with a Westone Thunder 1 (just the g*it*r, unfortunately) and two Shure mics - an SM58 and a Unidyne 545, all for the princely sum of £14!

Not quite a Rick for £300 (lucky sod! ) but just goes to show there are deals to be had, & people with no idea - or who just don't care - what they've got.

Actually that's an early through-neck 4000 to which he fitted a Thunderbird pickup. The scratchplate is actually brass (was originally white plastic as seen on the Ace of Spades video); that's just the way the light is. Bit of a Lemmy anorak I'm afraid; that's the bass that taught me how to play. His first Ric, modified variously over the years.

But yes, definitely a 4003S that's been bought. Unlikely that it's a copy (never seen one of an S, although they may exist). Bargain of the century indeed.

I'm not wanting to drag this wildly off-topic - but do you know what the hell this is he's playing?

I think these are from the early 80s - the bass looks like it could be a wildly modded pre '73 4001 - or some sort of custom-built copy.
