I don't have one. Yet.

Put it on your Christmas wish list.

This reminds me of an old joke:

Gumby is out on a date.
Upon leaving the movies his date asks, "Gee, Gumby, do you want to go for a cup of coffee or just go back to your place?"
Gumby replies, "Either is fine by me, I'm flexible."

Sorry for the derail!

Felix Pappalardi was the reason I first set my sights on playing one of these, but (even back in the dark ages before the intrawebs) it didn’t take a lot of research for me to figure out that there weren’t enough lawns that needed cutting in Hyde Park, NY for me to afford a Gibson.

...and so...

I traded in my first bass ( a $35 Silvertone) in on a Univox copy.
3 years later,
I traded that one in on my 4001.

40 years later, I started lurking around on EBay, in search of THIS Univox.
...very, very similar to the one I owned 1970/‘74...
Its got that Very same neck dive...and that very same fart-in-church tone!

Wow! I don’t know which I like better...the tuning peg configuration or the single f-hole!

That Gibson is The Ship!!

If we had one at our local music store, I might just move my recliner across town and set it down there and just sit there all day staring at it...

Between Felix Papallardi and Leslie West, I would have bet the house on who would be dead first.

“Thank you, Sir.” might be what I would say to the both of them, if I’d had the chance.

The Kuba Komet entertainment console was made in West Germany between 1958 and 1962. It offered a pivoting b/w television set, a stereo radio and a turntable with 10-record changer, plus room for an added tape recorder. The cabinet was solid maple and wenge.

Do schools still have homeroom? Or is homeroom another one of those "things you don't see anymore"?
