By the nine year old Expand I never saw the attraction with them, myself. Same with that 4005XC that looks like a Shafto copy. Quote

By the nine year old Expand FTFY. Otherwise I fully agree. I did like that 4005XC they did a few years ago, which was a 24 fret shortscale with the much more elegant body shape of the 330 guitar. That one was conceived as a 90th anniversary model and was a limited edition. Quote

Unless they are already pre-sold to other lefties for whom this was always the one that got away and won't even be in the shops. Quote
Stag Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 did anyone ever try the 4005XC? I was intriugued by them given they are shorties, and the body shape is really nice... and the price of them seems to have come down considerably since the 4005V announcement... Quote

Expand There's a horror story involving one of those. Behind the (set) neck there was next to no wood, and it folded up like a deck chair, just like some 4001s did. Quote

But your average Aliexpress purchaser probably won't be aware of the fresh air until the bass folds up. I've seen 4001s with the 'swimming pool' filled in. One guy even did it himself with a thing called 'Bondo'. Quote
