Wow! Looks great, Matt. And that Birdseye is suh-weet!After realizing that I’m not a 5 string kinda guy & selling the 55-76 to Doug, I set out in search of the 4 string version of this elusive beast.
That search is over, it took over a year & a half, but I finally found a 1998 4-76. With a little help from Marty Bell, I got the Music Man killer of my dreams.
The original Bart pickup got swapped out for a Nordstrand MM 4.2, but it does have the original Bartolini NTMB-L preamp & the combo just kills!
These early Birdseye maple boards are a real visual treat & the necks are to die for. Here’s a couple pics for all y’all…

Now that I could go for! And as Doug said earlier, the next LOG bass should be a 4 as the last one was a 5.Back to the LOG bass thing since it slipped ~2 pages!
I'd very likely be in (unless it's a 5-string...)
I like the idea thrown out earlier in the thread - green (I'd suggest "surf" as opposed to "seafoam") with black blocked maple neck (without binding)
Or... How 'bout a JO in Markus Orange with Chi-Sonics.Maybe something more than a little like this:

Very!
Totally!
Thanks doude, took forever to replace that 55.
Thanks, I asked for a high gloss jet black show car finish & he delivered!
Very much so, only saw 1 or 2 in that time & they were quilt tops which I couldn't cover up.
Thanks man, killer board even without blocks!
I believe it is a deluxe. I mean, I used to run across 44-02s in that range, but recently have only seen them for over 1000 (which is weird, considering I see 54-02s for significantly less)

Mojo feels so dirty now
Man, you must be fantastic at photoshop to whip that awesome picture up so fast...
LOL....he is.....he can whip them out fast....
Wrong crowd man...nothing but enablers here!
well...if it has a deluxe top....not too bad....maybe a "bit high"...
the main difference you may find is the neck feel...it is the same profile but -94 necks have a satin finish whereas -02 necks have gloss finishes.
play should be very similar...
Gorgeous!
