Hi all, I am that 'nice bloke from the other side of the ocean' (thanks for the compliment
) and I did indeed buy the 4005/4 from CME in October 2005. As already said it is one of only two lefty 4005 basses ever made, the other being the 4005/6FG that CME have now. I have knowledge of most of it's history from new.It is available now if someone wants it but bear in mind that it won't be cheap (It cost me more than my first house did!).
Congrats on that purchase! The 4005 probably the holy grail for lefty sixties fans since only two were made - and its a rare instrument for righties to begin with. You always want most what is hardest to get. It's amazing to me that CME got both of them. Was the 4005/6 there when you bought yours? I thought it was fake when I first saw the listing on Reverb.
