[quote name='budget bassist' post='225542' date='Jun 24 2008, 12:24 AM']I think gold hardware looks pretty nice on the right bass, EG that one.[b] I've always thought black hardware looked pretty cheap and tacky tbh.[/b] I think chrome is pretty timeless though, nobody ever complains about chrome.
Also +1 on the 90's necks looking amazing, there's some AMAZING birdseye/flame going on with those like you wouldn't believe![/quote]
how so?? gold seems to be used alot on cheaper basses to try n make it look classy, which for me does the absolute opposite, whereas black is less common on cheaper basses, and when used on a black bass or bass with black elements on, it looks absolute sterling. gold looks okay on gold basses, but you dont see many of those, and i think otherwise it just looks a bit tacky. but ye iv never heard anyone describe black as cheap and tacky before...i guess you think your toby pro is tacky then?? coz i think it looks class on your bass
all in our opinions anyways
