When I got mine the bridge cover was already gone and the bass was only 6 years old at the time in '73. Never missed it as it would just get in the way of palm muting anyway.

I have a '68 FG here.
I need a case for it. Anyone know where to get one?

Len,
Try getting a case made from Ameritage Cases. They should be able to make you one. My 4005WB will fit into the Ameritage case I have for my Rick Turner Renaissance bass, the only thing that must change is the contouring of the fitted interior.

Yes, the treble p/up is right next to the bridge.

Quote: Yes, the treble p/up is right next to the bridge. Mine's about 21/2 inches up the body away from the bridge. I thought they were all like that when I bought it, but I have never seen another one that way. I thought maybe it was the early 4005's that were like that, but yours blew that theory out of the water.

Zaack! I just checked the 4005....the bridge is about 1/2" south of the treble p/up.
