Amongst professionals that is...
There's a huge collectors and amateur market but amongst performers ??? even those who used them no longer do so (Geddy Lee etc.) Other than Lemmy and Squire (who uses a custom anyway) plus a few other examples I've never seen famous bassists, and otherwise pro-bassists use them. I've never touched a 4001 or 4003 so I have no frame of reference... is the sound too distinctive, limited or what?
