Black basses

[4 Strings]

How I love a slab bodied MM!

I was going by the transfer on the P. Sounds like an ace gigging bass, certainly looks the biscuit.

Two very nice basses, glad to hear you use them.

Just noticed all those other MM bodies on the wall. Quite a collection!



[quote name='cd_david' post='1034096' date='Nov 23 2010, 04:48 PM']It is indeed a pre EB body with a Status neck, but the P is a recent parts build (Jap body, Mighty Mite neck fender hardware and kent armstrong hot vintages) to look like a Roger Waters bass due to my current role in a floyd tribute.

The best thing about buying guitars in the same colour, is that the mrs can't tell the difference between them when you buy another one.....

I'd post some pictures of my Stingray, Doublebuck and Probass, but they're 11,000 miles away

Black Rick is great, really aggressive looking.

Not really played Ricks, so daft question I'm sure, but what's all the chrome gubbins around the bridge pickup?

Chrome gubbins just about sums it up! There's not much point in looking for a reason behind a lot of Rickenbacker's design quirks

The Overwater is "Black Beauty" the Spector is her Agressive fretted brother a Euro 5LX

Oh and this one, Slim Jim. Lousy Snaps though, dont do any of them justice.

Even the strings are black!!

Very old school, very Jazz! Mmm, Nice!!







Aside from the little chip on the head, it is in great nick for it's age!

Cheers.

That looks the business, I had a cherry red fretted 302, £204.00 brand new all those years ago.

I've just sold all my unblack basses, leaving me with ...


78 Gibson Ripper



89 Fender MIJ Precision



SX/Vintage FrankenP



And one that got away, but I should have kept for the Back in Black collection, an Epiphone Elitist EB3

Like the Jagauar/Panther above and the Guild fretless ... I'd consider one of those as a trade at the moment as it happens.

Here's my new arrival, Lakland 55-02 fretless





And the one I want to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112056"]sell[/url] (or perhaps trade)

That's gorgeous! The only black bass I've ever had was a 78 P. It used to react very strangely to UV light. Should never have got rid. I swapped it for a T-40 which wasn't a bad trade apart from the difference in value. The T is the better basd though.

Very cool bass. I like the way there's a contrast between the pickguard and body even though they're the same colour. The builder has pulled off the same trick in white [url="http://www.lighthouse-bass.com/Lighthose_Basses_ENG/Gallery.html#34"]here[/url].

And that's a very cute amp. I want one of those despite the fact I have a more practical (for me) markbass 1x12 combo.

And my Aria:


Come to think of it my new (to me) Corvette $$ is also black. I didn't plan a collection of black basses, honest!


I don't want to hijack the thread, but I'd like to put black strings on my Warwick. Any suggestions/recommendations?
