Clarky Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 [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 [url="http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/4003slh/4003slh.htm"]http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/4003slh/4003slh.htm[/url][/quote] PS here is Lemmy playing a 4003S (or maybe its predecessor the 4001S) [url="http://jakdknife.tripod.com/lemmy.jpg"]http://jakdknife.tripod.com/lemmy.jpg[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 [quote name='warwickhunt' post='249075' date='Jul 27 2008, 07:38 PM']Today should be declared 'Bargain BassChat Day'![/quote] 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. J.

4000 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 [quote name='Clarky' post='249087' date='Jul 27 2008, 07:57 PM']PS here is Lemmy playing a 4003S (or maybe its predecessor the 4001S) [url="http://jakdknife.tripod.com/lemmy.jpg"]http://jakdknife.tripod.com/lemmy.jpg[/url][/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=11445:Lemmy_zWm.jpg][attachment=11446:Lemmy_Ki..._03_full.jpg] 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.
